Autism is not a parenting fail; you’ve done nothing wrong. You didn’t cause this. Parenting your child will be more intense. You’ll need more patience and time. Your child will have intense emotions and needs, but they’ll also have intense curiosity, drive, determination, desire, persistence, and individuality. What you’ll need to find is the right fuel, environment, and support. Your child has great potential and, with the right support, they will have a happy and fulfilling life!
