I am about to take care of my step
daughter she is autistic. I have some
questions like what is autism? What can I
do to help her? What steps do I need to
take to get her started on her education?
My family says that I am taking on a big
resposibility with her and her autism. I
don't want to listen to this cause her mom
has failed her and I want to help her her
mom only dopes her up on meds and does
nothing for her education. So if ther is
any one out there who can tell me where I
need to start to get my new baby were she
needs to be. I have the love for her to
try and I want the knowledge for her to
do. To tell you a little about her she
has fits where she says someone is hurting
her we're not sure if some one is. She
zones out but when she comes down off the
meds she seems to be able to talk and play
so what should I do about the meds?
this is a great site - I checked it out
for you... Might find some answers there.
Try googling it. Is she aspergers or
what? Sorry, just interested. If she
seems better off the meds then talk to her
doctor - sometimes people don't need to be
on so many meds as the doctors think.
