Working with a child with autism has its challenges & homeschooling isn’t for everyone, but we’ve found that taking the time to understand our child — to really know who she is and identify her strengths — has been instrumental in helping her find her way.
Autism spectrum disorder exists on a continuum. Each person impacted by ASD experiences a unique manifestation of the disorder. My daughter, now 10, is one of a kind; her challenges and strengths are unique, and we’ve found that supporting them is the most direct path to happiness.
With the ASD diagnosis in hand, we began to earnestly pursue and create conditions under which Parker could thrive. We bought toys to feed her interest and to soothe her worries. As a family, we experimented with different games and toys — gauging Parker’s reaction and gleaning insight into her world in fascinating ways. We quickly discovered a keen interest in animals — dogs in particular — and a deep need to care for them. A lovely discovery.
To support her love of animals, we found an animal shelter and hospital that we visited every day so Parker could play with and care for her furry friends. Staff at both venues noticed the care and attention Parker gave the animals and were impressed with her knowledge. Our daughter’s genuine interest in the topic led her to read veterinary books in the evenings and offer solutions for animal health problems.
