519. Convey helpful hints to others who will be interacting with your child. For example, suggest that they:

Speak slowly and use simple language

Use concrete terms

Repeat simple questions

Allow time for responses

Give lots of praise

Do not attempt to physically block self-stimulating behavior

Remember that each individual with autism is unique and may act differently than others

520. The child or teen with autism may look like they are not paying attention, but they are taking in everything that is going on around them. They are listening to you even if they are not looking at you. Not being able to talk does not mean they don’t understand you, or that they have nothing to communicate. Treat each child as if they understand what is being said in their presence. Give them the benefit of the doubt.
