Autism Family Support in Orange County, CA | Harmony Homes Support

A child may learn to ask for help at the therapy table, then freeze when they need help in the classroom. Another may put on shoes at home every morning, but struggle to do the same task at a grandparent’s house. This can be confusing for adults, but it is common for many autistic children.

A person can feel deeply and still show very little. They can look calm while feeling overwhelmed, or appear upset when they are actually scared, exhausted, or overloaded. This difference between what someone feels and what others see is one reason autistic emotions are often misunderstood.

If you're the parent of an autistic child, you've probably encountered an overwhelming amount of information about vitamins, supplements, genetic testing, methylation, MTHFR, folate and, more recently, leucovorin.
