How would you approach parents about autism when you see the signs? How do you handle this situation when the parents are very resistant to the diagnosis?
There is an excellent discussion of this topic at
http://www.firstsigns.org/concerns/doc_parent.htm#bad_news.
It is oriented to physicians, but much of the information applies
to any professional who talks with families about developmental
concerns.
