Increase understanding in public situations

When out in public with a grandchild who may behave unconventionally, you may find it helpful to wear a hat, t-shirt, button or other article that indicates you support an autism cause.  You can order a cap with the Grandparent Autism Network’s logo on this website. This may help to eliminate critical comments from others who misinterpret the behavior and feel that you can control the child’s conduct.

Grandparents can help to eliminate social stigmas associated with autism. Disclosing that you have a family member with autism typically encourages other people to  offer assistance, ask questions, and support autism causes.

Spread the love
