Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew. From the book by Ellen Notbohm©

1. I am a whole child. My autism is part of who I am, not all of who I am.

2. My senses are out of sync.

3. Distinguish between won’t and can’t.

4. I interpret language literally.

5. Listen to all the ways I’m trying to communicate.

6. Picture this! I am visually oriented.

7. Focus and build on what I can do rather than what I can’t do.

8. Help me with thinking and being social.

9. Identify what triggers my meltdowns.

10. Love me unconditionally.
