How and When to Tell Your Child They're Autistic

Telling your child they have autism won't be a one and done conversation.
Telling a child they have autism can be tricky. There are many things to consider. Some recent research has mapped out 4 broad themes to keep in mind when having this discussion with your child.
4 Themes:
1- Open and honest conversations about autism
2- Creating a shared understanding
3- Positively supporting the child's differences
4- Tailor the conversation to the child's developmental level
When to tell your child is also an important thing to consider.
Think about their developmental age, chronological age and if they're asking questions about why they're different. Also, avoid having this talk before school or at bedtime. You don't want to be rushed or cut short.

I would wait to tell them until their Adults. Just kidding. I found out that I was Autistic on February 11th 2023 so almost 2 years ago. Sure would have been helpful to know earlier but I'm happy to know now. I can relax as so much more in my life makes sense now. At least I know what I'm fighting. Now I can start transitioning into adulthood a little late.
