You can help your child a great deal by early learning interventions.  Introduce your child to colorful learning toys, books and games to stimulate his or her mind.  Remember start off with simple tasks.  Memory games would be a great choice, since Autistic children have excellent memories. Work with your child on a daily basis for short intervals at first. Try not to overdo or your child will get frustrated and lose interest. Remember learning should be fun.  The more enjoyable you make it for your child the more he or she will want to participate. Be patient and remember to reward your child when progress is made. Don't get discouraged or look discouraged your child may sense you frustrations and may not want to study anymore. Keep smiling no matter what! Rewards will come in time!
