Give Children with AS Time to Respond
Dr. Clatch writes about how parents can support their child with AS by allowing them more time to respond to and comply with requests.
Children with AS may become frustrated by their parent’s commands. Children with AS may have a valid reason for not complying with their parent’s request. In actuality, the child may be working on a reply that provides the parent with information about why the request has not been addressed. By providing additional time for processing, the child may be able to formulate a response for the parent. In these instances, the ability to have these extra seconds may make all of the difference in the world, as the child will feel better about his or her response.
