Discussing the Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder With Your Child—Autism Toolkit

Discussing the Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder With Your Child—Autism Toolkit

As your child gets older, she may read reports or hear the word autism in reference to her. Some children are aware of their diagnosis, but some are not aware, and the parents may worry that their children will become upset when they find out they have autism. This is a valid concern, and it is better if your child is told about his diagnosis by you in a safe and supportive environment rather than on paper or through conversations with others.
