Autism Parenting Magazine

In May, we often clean up our yards or paint and repair our homes, knowing the importance of caring for the whole house. Do we see health in the same light? When scheduling a physical for our child, we may not always think about their mental state.
Our theme this month is Embracing Mental Health and Wellness. As you view your child through your parent lens, take a close look at them from a mental health perspective. We don’t want to be unaware of what might be signs of mental illness that could cause our children more challenges than necessary. Check for signs of masking or changes in mood or behavior, and review your own mental health and wellness, too. If needed, a mental health professional can observe your child, or you may see the same loving, unique disposition as always. Then open the windows, let in the sunshine, and enjoy your child’s wonderful personality and spirit. Happy reading!
