Caring for an autistic child requires emotional energy, patience, and resilience. Without rest, burnout can quietly build.
At Bethelxafe Autism Foundation, we remind families that self care is essential for sustainable caregiving.
Simple Self Care Practices
- Schedule short daily breaks
- Accept help from trusted people
- Maintain small enjoyable routines
- Connect with other parents
- Seek professional support when needed
Why Caregiver Wellbeing Matters
When you are rested and emotionally supported, your child benefits from calmer, steadier responses.
