How do you explain autism to kids?
There is not one way to explain autism, or when to explain autism to a child. Using facts, and explaining autism in a simple and positive way can be beneficial. What is autism? webpage has some good tips. Or you could use a picture book like Kathy Hoopmann’s All Cats are on the Autism Spectrum to describe autism.
An example of how one Australian family introduced the concept of autism to their son can be found at My brother Tom: by Hannah Neale.
