Taking my autistic daughter out

[Hieveryone18]

She is under 2 so is hasn’t actually been diagnosed as being autistic but there are plenty of signs. To all of you out there that have been there before do you think it fair to keep taking her to toddler groups etc. Am I trying to force her to mix with other kids when she is uncomfortable with it or will it do her good in the long run. Any suggestions of where to go would be great.

Unless she is showing obvious signs of distress when there then of course keep doing it. IF she does have autism or anything else she is still going to be part of the “wider world” so helping her to develop social skills within her ability can only be a good thing.

If you are forcing her then no, I don't think you should continue as she's clearly not liking it.

Thanks guys
No she doesn’t get distresses so your right it’s got to help her I hope

If she can handle ‘normal’ stuff like toddler groups then keep going. One of the problems with many autistic kids is that their world can become small because they cannot tolerate a lot, and that can be restrictive for them. That said, see what she seems to enjoy, every child, autistic or not needs to have fun!
