Recently I was having a conversation with a friend about our children. We were talking about how we, as parents influence behaviors of our children (with or without ASD). Whether we like it or not we can play a huge role in the life of our children and we must strive to lead by example and win respect rather than by commanding and waiting. Certainly it is not just our influence that affects its behavior, but we can play an important role.
Anyway during the conversation I remember saying how having a child with autism has taught us (parents) both on the education of children and about life in General. There is no doubt that when we learned that Isy was on the autism spectrum disorders that our family unit became much more United and stronger. We teamed up and we were determined from the beginning that we were going to overcome many obstacles that a disability such as autism may submit and get better for it.
Below is a list of just some of the things that we as parents have learned with our autistic children:
Acceptance -accept his son for who they are. They are all beautiful in their own way. Just because they're different doesn't mean they are minors. Different is good!Tolerance -sometimes it is difficult to understand why they are getting upset or frustrated, but when you take the time to understand that you can see that everything makes sense. Sometimes you have to be extremely tolerant, but you teach something very valuable-tolerance!Humor -you have to have a good sense of humor to survive having a child with autism. If you do not have a soon get an otherwise you will just go insane. I always say laughter heals everything, and I strongly believe. With autistic children that you just can't get angry or sad, you just have to laugh and when you laugh with them everything just is much better.Happiness -happiness is a choice, wise words from someone who knows Bears Barry Neil Kaufman. You can choose to be happy or sad in any situation-it is your choice, you just have to make that decision and happy feels much better than sad. It also appears that autistic people are very sensitive to your vibes and will reflect and amplify on how you feel.Unconditional love -"all you need is love"! So very true. When you love someone for who they are and nothing else-without-trial without conditions-which is the true love and pure. You can't get better than that. And for the addressee-ten fold. Disability of children, adults, or not, we all do better when we truly are loved unconditionally.
These are just some of the things we learned from our autistic daughter, and to tell the truth we wouldn't have it different, we just love her for who she is-without conditions.

My parents started originally Autism Isabel pages and pages of web Isybee Autism to help other parents in similar circumstances and give recognition to other people and organisations that have helped them help me.
We hope to cover a lot of ground by writing articles and provide information and resources for families and people affected by autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
