This is a long one… but it’s because I have so much to say! I have added time stamps, so if you find some points more interesting you can simply skip to that chapter by clicking on the timeline in the video or here in the description box.

In this video I share 13 tips for what to do and what not to do with autistic children, and these tips also include teenagers and young adults. I also share examples for most points, and some tips of what you can do instead.

The tips will come up in green and pink information-boxes, so feel free to pause the video or screenshot these tips to save them for when you need them.
