Congratulations on completing Module 1 where we laid a foundation for understanding autism. The following points are worth highlighting:
Autism is a spectrum of abilities and needs. It’s a different way of processing the world, not a disease or a limitation.
Your child is unique. No two autistic children are the same.
The level of support needed depends on the level of initial impairment. However, children who start with significant challenges can still go on to live a full and normal life, as long as they get the right therapy early.
Earlier diagnosis and intervention lead to better outcomes.
Your feelings are valid. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, but there is also hope and a community ready to support you
