What Those on the Spectrum Need at Home - Part 4 

In the book, "The Autism Checklist" Paula Kluth gives strategies for parents to use in their home for their child with ASD.  She says, "Strive for balance.  Although it is certainly important to see that your child on the spectrum is meaningfully engaged a significant portion of the day, it is also true that she deserves and needs some alone time or downtime.  Maybe it's a time when she can play in her room or watch a video by herself.  Siblings deserve this same consideration, and so do parents.  Create scheduled opportunities for family members to have those needs met.  At the same time, create some opportunities for the whole family to be together, laugh, enjoy, and just have fun."  (pg. 49)
