After a child is diagnosed with autism, in order to better help the child recover, parents should make a concerted effort to do these things:
First, a scientific understanding of autism.

Second, to be a learning parent, self-taught intervention skills.
Autism rehabilitation mainly relies on education and intervention, and whether parents are active or not is a decisive influence on the child's prognosis.
After a child's diagnosis, parents must take positive action and strive to be learning parents, learning more about autism intervention and knowing how to apply it in daily life. They should emphasize the development of self-care and self-reliance skills, have reasonable expectations for their child's future, and be tolerant and accepting of their child in the true sense of the word.
Thirdly, family members should understand and support each other.
Family members should communicate with each other more often, and discuss with each other before making any decisions about the education of their autistic child.
Thirdly, family intervention is emphasized.
An important reason for emphasizing parents' focus on family intervention is that parents can greatly save family expenses by intervening with their children themselves. It is also easier for parents to find the right educational and developmental path for their children through long-term interventions and interactions, which maintains the stability of family life, and parents in turn look at their children's obstacles with greater equanimity.
