TWe all run into struggles in our day-to-day life. However, during adolescence, 
these  problems often seem far worse than they actually are. This is due to the 
fact that  during this period in our lives, we’ve yet to develop the appropriate 
coping  mechanisms and skill sets that enable us to work towards a quick and 
easy solution  to our problems. As a result, children and teenagers are more likely 
to feel  overwhelmed when things get tough.

CREATE A SAFE  
SPACE FOR THEM
SERVI CE 
1
Whenever things get overwhelming, your 
0 child  with autism must be able to retreat into a space  where they feel safe and comfortable. 
This is one  of the easiest ways for your child to 
1 calm down,  especially if they are showcasing signs of a  meltdown.
SERVICE 2
0 Typically, it is advised that these spaces are quiet and  
relaxing, with minimal furniture or decorations used –  
especially if your child struggles with sensory 
2 regulation.  Furthermore, you should make it clear to your child that  they can use this space as often as 
they like – and that  they don’t have to ask for 
permission to do so.
FOLLOW A 
ROUTINE
Establishing a clear routine is another great way to  
make your child with autism’s life easier, as it  
removes the element of surprise from their day. For 
 children with autism or related disorders, surprises  
can often be the cause of great stress or discomfort, 
 as they usually like to know what they are doing  
ahead of time so they can suitably prepare  
themselves. By putting together a daily routine – 
and  discussing this with your child – you’re helping 
them  prepare for what is ahead.
ENCOURAGE THEM TO 
 ATTEND THERAPY  
SESSIONS
For children with autism and related disorders, attending therapy  
sessions with a licensed practitioner is a great way to help them  
develop the skills they need to better manage their symptoms and 
 gain independence. For example, speech therapy is a handy tool 
for  children with autism as it can help them to better 
communicate with  others and find their voice. In doing so, they 
may also find it easier to  discuss their feelings and emotions – 
meaning they can ask for help  when they need it.
CHANGE THE SITUATION, 
 NOT THE CHILD
Whenever autism and related disorders are discussed in the media, the conversation often centers around 
autism  being something that needs to be treated instead of managed. However, this simply is not the case. 
An autism  diagnosis does not mean that your child is any less capable or less worthy than other children – 
they just  experience life a little differently than the rest of us. Therefore, you can make your child’s life easier by 
 understanding that when your child’s behavior is erratic or unpredictable, you need to change the 
environment  around them instead of the child’s behavior itself. For example, if you are in a loud or noisy 
environment that is  causing your child discomfort – instead of encouraging them to stick it out – move to a 
quieter place, or provide  them with noise-canceling headphones.
In short, there are various steps you can take to make your child’s life easier on a daily basis – many of which  
involve being open-minded and supportive. Sometimes, simply asking your child what they need or how you 
can  make things better for them can go a long way.
