So yesterday (I think) on PC chat a new alter came out. He's young, between 8 and 12, and he's very autistic. His name is Connor, and as I understand he was very upset. I'm not sure at all how to deal with this; for each alter, I know a little about either how to calm them down with their specific hobby/hobbies or how to...trigger? a switch. But with this one, I am clueless. First, I don't really know anything about him at all; second, and maybe more importantly, I have NO experience whatsoever with autistic children. I know some of you either have a child with a disability or mental illness or have had some experience with one. I would be GREATLY appreciative of any advice you can give me on how to help him
 Oh and (I know this my responsibility but) if you could maybe help me figure out what his purpose is? I think that would aid in understanding him better.

All alters perform the roll of protection, even the autistic ones. Just let connor reveal himself to you. Autistic parts can really be shut down and be angry. Don't push him too much. Trust is a huge issue for him. But given the fact that he has come out means that there has been some sort of trust formed already.

an autistic child can be overwhelmed by to much stimuli. That is when meltdowns can a cure for him. When he is out until he can say more for him self try to provide yourself with soft music and soft lights.Think about the ways in your past that have helped the whole to calm down. that should give you a starting point. Also google autism that will give you a better understanding of the type of behaviors to look for in Conner. With love and understanding You will bring peace to Conner and yourself.

AtreyuFreak:
Our alter that has disability took sometime to be able to be 'out' and when it arrived was such a wonderful thing to be able to be with us. Gentle love and kind ways worked best. No rush just lots of time. .

Atreyufreak,
the suggestions about taking things slow, quiet and gentle sounds good to me. i don't know much about autism, maybe you could check-out a book from your library or look on line - just be careful with what you read, not all authors have the same value. Leslie
