2. AUTISTIC CHILD PARENTING
The Effect of the Holidays on the Autistic Child
Because kids on the spectrum are always looking for familiar things to make sense of their world, the jam packed holiday calendar may present some problems.

3. AUTISM NETWORK INTERNATIONAL
Don't Mourn for Us
Carol Watkins, MD, states, "This affirming article is by Jim Sinclair, an
individual with high functioning autism. He suggests that parents should focus on and
celebrate the child as he is rather than persistently mourn the child they never had. This
can be a good handout for parents."
