The parent’s home life will entirely change and will be different.
As a child, parents will notice that their child is reserved and does not respond accordingly to their surroundings. The child is more likely to be very routine oriented and may display behavioral symptoms; impulsivity, aggressiveness, and hyperactivity. With this, parents might have to know or study the things that will accommodate the child’s learning and distinguish the things that will help the child to be safe. Being a parent of an individual with ASD does not affect only one aspect of their lives but everything in their lives. Living with an individual with autism can have profound effects on the family including siblings, the child with autism, and their parents. On the positive side, having a sibling or a child with autism will develop family bond and increase the family’s awareness of their own
strengths.
