Ten things every child with autism wishes you knew - Notbohm, Ellen (Arlington, TX : Future Horizons, 2005)
I am first and foremost a child -- My sensory perceptions are disordered -- Distinguish between won't and can't -- I am a concrete thinker. I interpret language literally -- Be patient with my limited vocabulary -- Because language is so difficult for me, I am very visually oriented -- Focus and build on what I can do rather than what I can't do -- Help me with social interactions -- Identify what triggers my meltdowns -- Love me unconditionally.
