[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be helpful if someone put examples of different levels of autistic behavior. I've heard of kids having autism at my child's school, but I don't know what that means or how to help/not say the wrong thing. When I was growing up, the only autistic kids I heard about had severe symptoms, like rain man or a kid who couldn't connect with others at all on a news program. So, frankly it would be helpful to hear of typical autistic behavior and what to do/not do as a mom of a child whose classmates have autism.[/quote] I don't think it's helpful to come to a relationship with a person with autism with a bunch of stereotypes. Just like neurotypical kids, kids with autism have their own personalities, strengths and weaknesses. They are not defined by their autism and everything they do or do not do is not because of their autism.[/quote]
