One of the most common indicators of autism
in children is the inability to socialize and communicate with others. These young
individuals often experience difficulties in forming relationships and
identifying social signals.
Social cues help to foster conversations and social interaction with
others. These indicators are usually recognized by children who observe others
and can accept non-verbal cues, such as a child being interested in playing
with them. For children with autism, it is hard for them to detect these
signals and it is also a challenge for them to communicate in a manner that is
understandable to other children. These challenges limit their ability to
assimilate and form friendships with their peers.
If your child has autism, it can be disheartening to see them
withdrawing and often refusing to interact with other kids. To help your child
build friendships, here are a couple of suggestions that you should
consider.
Have a Conversation about Friendships
One of the easiest ways to help your child develop their social skills
is by encouraging them to define friendships. Let them know that friends are
kind, say nice things to them, and treat them fairly. By explaining these
somewhat abstract concepts, you are helping them to identify the right
behaviors and the foundations of friendship.
Additionally, role-playing or using emotional cue cards to address
certain expressions and emotions is also a beneficial practice. These exercises
will help children to recognize specific emotions and be more receptive to
children displaying the right behaviors. They may also learn to exhibit such
behaviors to attract friends.
Plan a Playdate
To further a potential friendship, you can ask your child what they like
to do and inquire about the interests of other children in their classroom. For
example, if your child loves basketball, ask them whether there are other
children in their class that like basketball as well.
By asking these questions, you can approach other parents and ask them
whether they are open to a playdate. Inviting children over can help to stimulate
interaction and encourage your child to communicate and connect with others.
Also, while the other child is over, offering praise and encouraging
interaction is a great way to help your child develop confidence.
