Optimism 4 Autism isn't just a catchy title. The number 4 is significant. From our family's experience, we believe there are four key areas to any family's success. Nourishing them is especially important to children who have autism. Consistent attention to these four areas is key:
1. Spirituality. Regardless of religion, faith in a Higher Power is essential.
2. Health. Mental, emotional, and physical well-being must be fostered.
3. Family. Unity is created through love and commitment to one another. The most important and meaningful relationships begin at home.
4. Education. Developing skills, goals, and responsibilities is key to anyone's success. Learning specialized coping skills is vital for those who struggle with autism.
As we blog, our postings and comments will focus largely on these four key areas. Doing so can help us have Optimism 4 Autism.
