Many children and teenagers with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis encounter unique challenges when engaging in physical activities like trying to play sports with autism and other organized, collaborative events. These difficulties with appropriate physical play while having ASD can sometimes stem from the common hurdles those on the ASD spectrum experience.

Raising a child or teenager with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can present unique obstacles for neurodiverse families, especially when it comes to addressing and managing challenging behaviors. For parents of children on the spectrum, these behaviors may include aggression, self-injury, tantrums, wandering, and more. If left untreated, they can be dangerous or even life-threatening for some, making it crucial to understand and address maladaptive behaviors for better outcomes in life with ASD.

In this blog by ABA Centers of Delaware, we will discuss the various autism support groups in Delaware and how they are building stronger communities for individuals with ASD and their families. We will also highlight the different approaches, activities, and events that make them unique in supporting those on the spectrum and allies who fiercely care.
