Yes, I know it is taking me a while to get this together. I will be more diligent about it...
6. Avoid surfing the Internet too much. There is a lot of misinformation on the web. Nothing you did or didn't do caused your child's autism. You are not to blame.
7. Use your library before deciding which books go into your home. Check with local disability organizations like Families Helping Families to see if they have free lending libraries. Some books are by parents whose children really had much milder autism than they realized and some books are very negative.
8. "1001 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders" by Veronica Zysk and Ellen Notbohm is great. This book is a surprisingly thin book for all the wealth of information it has. The book has loads of budget sensory therapy ideas and more.
9. If your child can read, you can spend hundreds of dollars on specially made social stories or

About Me
- Mylinda
- Hello my name is Mylinda Elliott. I have five adult children. I also have seven grandchildren and one on the way. Two of my children have Autism Spectrum Disorders. Some of my grandchildren have disabilities. I split my time between loving God and my family, autism and disability work, and selling Avon. I am into jewelry, perfume, and girl stuff like skin care. I have Rosacea so skin care is high on my list of interests. I sell Avon because I was spending so much on Avon Jewelry I like and of course Avon Perfumes.
