Description

In most societies, grandparents are symbols of kindness and caring. In some families, grandparents are considered to be one of the main caregivers of children, according to the family’s circumstances. Grandparents may feel confused in a family where a child has just been diagnosed with Autism.
Grandparents often believe that a grandchild is one of the greatest gifts in their lives, and it doesn’t matter if this grandchild is different from others. But the diagnosis of Autism is a shocking and unpredictable event in people’s lives. They may not even have heard of a disorder they don’t know.
This booklet is a guide for these dear grandparents.
The booklet states: “When you are with an autistic child, you don’t know when he will get confused, and this happens when you least expect these behaviors. Autistic children usually have impulsive and unexpected behaviors. They may shout or hurt themselves or others in public. So it would help if you always had solutions for unexpected crises. Before facing these events, it is better to ask the child’s parents about the nature and cause of the confusion. Another critical point is that if the child takes medicine, always have his medicine with you”.
