Support for an Autistic Friend

NAS38496

Hi,

One of my closest friends has been diagnosed as autistic. I don't know much about autism, and so I've been reading up on it on this website and others. My question is, how is the best way to support my friend? 

Thanks for any replies!

  • I would advice not to change your behaviour on how you treating the friend. A slight change may make them feel like outcast. You know the condition but please make them to feel safe, not different and they will accept their situation in the long run. Make them to feel like family and not differently after the diagnosis
