Parenting a child with autism comes with lots of questions. What are the best ways to meet their needs? What is behind confusing behaviors? How can less verbal kids learn to communicate?

This week on childmind.org we round up resources to help parents answer these questions. From navigating meals with picky eaters to coping with sensory processing issues, our experts offer strategies to empower kids and minimize conflict. Plus, a look at the debate among experts and advocates about applied behavior analysis (ABA), the most common therapy for kids with autism.
