[quote=Anonymous]1. Understand that the "refrigerator mother" theory has been disproven. Parents do not cause autism, so don't focus on looking for reasons to blame them, but rather what you can do to help their child. 2. Understand that most parents work full-time jobs, and that managing a child with special needs is like having yet another full time job. For this reason, don't waste their time by coming by going to their home unprepared and without giving careful thought as to how you plan to help their child. 3. Understand that parents are dealing with constant stress and worry, compounded in many cases by lack of sleep due to their child's sleep disorders. Do what you can to help provide parents with encouragement to continue to struggle to help their child.[/quote]
