How to help your autistic
How to help your autistic child with day-to-day life
How to help your child communicate
Do
• use your child's name so they know you're speaking to them
• keep language simple and clear
• speak slowly and clearly
• use simple gestures, eye contact and pictures or symbols to support what you're saying
• allow extra time for your child to understand what you have said
• ask your autism assessment team if you can get help from a speech and language therapist (SLT)
• try ways to help them communicate, such as Signalong, Makaton or PECS
• read tips from the National Autistic Society on communicating with your child
Helping with your child's behaviour
Some autistic children have behaviours such as:
• stimming – a kind of repetitive behaviour (such as flapping their hands or flicking their fingers)
• meltdowns – a complete loss of control caused by being totally overwhelmed
If your child has these behaviours, read our advice about how to help your child's behaviour.
Eating difficulties
Many children are "fussy eaters".
Autistic children may:
• only want to eat foods of a certain colour or texture
• not eat enough or eat too much
• eat things which are not food (called pica)
• have problems with coughing or choking while eating
• be constipated, so they feel full even when they have not eaten much food
It may help to keep a food diary, including what, where and when your child eats. This can help you notice any common issues your child has. Speak to a GP or your autism team about any problems your child's having with eating. The National Autistic Society has more about how to help with eating problems
Problems sleeping
Many autistic children find it hard to get to sleep, or wake up several times during the night.
This may be because of:
• anxiety
• sensitivity to the light from smartphones or tablets
• problems with the sleep hormone melatonin
• issues such as hyperactivity or a health condition that affects sleep
You can help your child by:
• keeping a sleep diary of how your child sleeps to help you notice any common issues
• following the same bedtime routine
• making sure their bedroom is dark and quiet
• letting them wear ear plugs if it helps
• talking to a GP about how to manage health conditions that make sleep difficult, such as a food sensitivity or breathing problem
If these tips do not help, talk to your autism team about creating a sleep plan to help your child's sleep behaviour.
If your child's sleep does not get better, a GP might refer you to a paediatrician or child psychiatrist with experience of autism who can prescribe a medicine called melatonin to help your child sleep.
Staying healthy
It's important that your child has regular check-ups with the:
• dentist
• optician
• doctors treating any other conditions your child has
Children over 14 who also have a learning disability are entitled to an annual health check.
Do not be afraid to let staff know what they can do to make it easier to go for check-ups.

Friendships and socialising
Some autistic children find it hard to make friends.
There are some things you can do to help:
Do
• get ideas from other parents on autism forums and local support groups
• ask your child's school if they can help
• ask your autism team how to help your child communicate and socialise
• search the National Autism Society directory for local social groups that are autism-friendly
• read more advice about making friends from the National Autistic Society
