Autism Spectrum Disorder is when the affected person cannot interact socially and has behavioural and communicational issues. The impact of this disorder can range from mild to severe. The symptoms can be observed from early childhood and continue into adulthood. Bringing up a child with autism can be challenging for parents too.
Children with autism can make it extremely difficult for parents to cope with the situation, sometimes in public places, as they portray unusual behaviour.
A few of the problems faced by such parents include:
1. Inappropriate touching in public places
2. Child trying to pervade other people’s personal space
3. Being stubborn about someone’s belongings
4. Making inappropriate gestures or unusual behaviour like flapping hands or spinning around objects
5. An extreme display of anger, affection, laughter or any other emotion
6. Being unresponsive
7. Clumsy
8. Disregard for other people
Parents often become stressed, and to try and lessen the stress, they look for somewhere to take their children on holiday but find it hard to choose or find the right place.
