1. Provide respite for the family. If you are not comfortable caring for an autistic child, find someone who can.
2. Get to know the child with autism, find out what they are interested in.
3. Reach out to the siblings of the autistic child.
4. Do not avoid the family and do not assume that they are too busy for friends or get togethers.
5. Encourage them.
6. Ask them what they need.
7. Pray for them.
Whatever you do, do not pretend that autism does not exist. It is real, it is serious and it is hard. There are families that could use your support.
