Autism and Emotional Support for Parents

Having an autistic child is no ball game. It changes the lives of the whole family. The parents go all out to try and improve the quality of their autistic child's life and become lifelong advocates for their child.

There comes a time when every parent will experience burnout. The emotional lows and depression are a common occurence. When an autistic child becomes self injurious and/or just more difficult to manage the parents are in a precarious position mentally, emotionally and physically.

There is a real need for emotional support for parents and siblings even as their autistic child/sibling goes through his own trials and trauma. Every little support they receive from caring others goes a long way to ameliorate their difficulties.
