It's important to approach the situation with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to learn about autism and how it affects your loved one.

Here are some tips that might be helpful:

1. Educate yourself: Learn as much as you can about autism and how it affects people. This can help you better understand your loved one's behaviors and needs, and can help you communicate with them more effectively.

2. Listen to your loved one: Listen to your loved one and try to understand their perspective. Allow them to express themselves in their own way and be patient with them if they have difficulty communicating or expressing themselves.

3. Be patient: Be patient and understanding with your loved one, as they may have difficulty with certain social situations or sensory experiences.

4. Celebrate their strengths: Focus on your loved one's strengths and celebrate their accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem.

5. Offer support: Offer your loved one support and assistance when they need it, but also allow them to be independent and make their own decisions whenever possible.

Remember, every person with autism is unique and may have different needs and challenges. It's important to approach the situation with an open mind and a willingness to learn and adapt to your loved one's individual needs and preferences.

Just be patient with them and learn more about them and maybe even read about autism to understand it better.


Like, if I was good friends with someone who had a food allergy, I’d want to understand what I can do to be mindful of that so I could look out for them better.
