We see siblings of kids with autism on the spectrum too. They don’t have to have the exact diagnosis. Some mothers confessed that their partners have some autism traits too.<\/p>\n 5- Make your goal focused on two things: independence and social skills. Take your cues from your child. Stay positive.<\/p>\n The pieces of the puzzle will fall in their place one day.<\/p>\n Celebrate the World Autism Awareness Day.<\/p>\n Cheers!<\/p>\n nadia shanab<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Autsim Speaks published a great article to summerize the most important things about autism we didn’t know a year ago.
