I have a brother and he is autistic and he is 13. I know from seeing them all the time that autism can make the parents life so much more stressful (including mine). But, i know patience is a big thing that changes when they had my brother. My dad isnt very good with that but i know my mom sure is. I mean, my brother is pretty smart (above the average smartness level of autism), he can read, write, spell, and do math. I know that having an autistic brother changed me completely, without him, i totally would look at life so much differently. It makes me appreciate autistic people and mentally challenged people way more than i would if i didnt have my brother. Also, ive been thinking of becoming a special teacher. But yeah, back to topic [lol] parenting skills change by having A L O T more patience, and idk but its hard and i give anybody who has an autistic child [including my parents] alot of credit, it is alot harder than people think. hope this helped :)<br><b>References : </b><br> Im 14 years old.

I make sure I spend some extra time with my daughter because I send most of my week in therapies for my son and I don't want her thinking I didn't love her. Its hard but if you take one day at a time, it will get better. <br><b>References : </b><br> My daughter was born before I knew my son had autism so its kind of like that.

You work a lot harder for less results and it becomes natural. You adjust to your child's needs and it becomes the new normal in your family. Most parents with special needs children tend to develop a greater appreciation for little things and they value the things that they took for granted with their healthy children.<br><b>References : </b><br> Parenting skills evolve as you go along, your understanding and tolerance change a great deal.
