TACKLING THE CRISIS
A CRISIS FOR PEOPLE WITH AUTISM THAT WE CAN ADDRESS
People with autism often have an extremely difficult and frustrating experience getting through life because, characteristically, many have difficulty understanding the spoken word and communicating verbally. Behavioral problems due to misunderstandings often cause problems not only for people with autism, but also for those interacting with them.
For the family of someone with autism, the impact on their lives cannot possibly be overstated. There is something we can do to make life easier for people with autism and families, and for those of us with whom they interact. It has no financial cost and requires minimal time and effort from school and community organization staff members.
Parents, caregivers, advocates and educators can access resources available to support a better understanding
of the diverse needs of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
