Many studies proved that such kind techniques and treatment methods improved social, language and behavioural skills among the autism children.

Schedule the routine Mealtime

If the child is found to be light-sensitive, dim the lights. Allow them to pick their favourite food and place for eating.

Support groups might be helpful to talk or listen to people who are going through the same problem. It could be a huge source of information about what services are available in your area and the provider details.

Be careful about unusual sensitivities

No one can know that what an autistic person receives from the senses exactly. They can feel a hug as an assault, whispers as roars, and clothes like sandpaper. New rules are adopted in the case of an autistic child.
