Tips for interacting with Children on the autism spectrum:

Be patient

They may not be able to interpret your nonverbal communications; such as facial expressions and hand gestures.

Show your love and share their interests

They may want to only talk about the one thing they are really interested in.

Always carry around a positive attitude

Create a positive aura to help portray a safe, welcoming environment.

Be persistent but resilient

Keep conversations focused and simple. They take things literally. You need to be careful to say exactly what you mean. If you hurry the child by saying "Step on it," don't be surprised if he or she asks what to step on.
