Helping Teenagers with Autism Overcome Many Challenges
Being a parent to a teenager is never easy. You can expect rebellious behavior, bad attitudes, and arguments here and there. Most teens will act out of character at some point, but it’s different when you have an autistic teenager because of the way they’re wired. The situation quickly becomes even more challenging when you’re a parent of a teen with autism. If you have an autistic teen at home, you likely have even more concerns than the parent of a neurotypical teen for various reasons. For example, your teenager may have trouble with some of the following things:
● Completing Multi-Step Tasks
● Difficulty Doing Things They Don’t Like or Don’t Want to Do
● Trouble Gaining Basic Life Skills
● Difficulty Expressing Feelings Appropriately
● Trouble Understanding Social Cues/Difficulty Socializing
● Poor Hygiene
● Unaware of Dangerous Situations
