You
may desperately
want to have
your Autistic
child
photographed,
but you may
find that it is
a
near-impossible
task. They will
find it very
difficult to
sit in one
position for a
long time and
may not like
the bright
lights. This
article will
give you some
handy hints on
how to have
your child
photographed.
1.
If you want to
have
professional
photographs
taken, you will
need to let the
photographer
know ahead of
time that your
child is
Autistic.
This will allow
them to make
the necessary
changes.
2.
Take photos
when you can !V
always have a
camera handy !V
especially when
you are on
holiday or out
on day trips.
Some of the
best photos are
natural ones
when your child
is enjoying
themselves. You
could always
take some
photos of when
your child is
asleep if they
won!|t sit
still at any
other time.
3.
If you want a
professional
picture, be
sure to take
them during a
!¢Dgood!| time
of the day. For
example, if the
later afternoon
is usually
filled with
crying and
tempers, don!|t
book an
appointment for
then. Make the
appointment for
early morning
instead.
4.
If your child
has a comforter
or a special
toy that they
carry with
them, bring
that along. It
might help them
to relax and
they can hold
it while
they!|re photo
is being
taken.
5.
You could
always ask
whether the
photographer
could come to
your house.
This way, your
child will be a
lot more
relaxed. The
photos will
also be a lot
more natural
and you could
even have some
shots taken
outdoors.
 6.
Never
force your
child to
sit or
stand in a
position
where they
feel
uncomfortable.
Let them
choose how
they would
like to
pose. If
your
photographer
won!|t
allow
this, find
one that
will. At
the end of
the day
you are
paying for
a service
and it
should not
be
dictated
by the
photographer.
7.
Ask other
parents where
they got their
children
photographed.
You might be
able to find
someone who is
experienced in
photographing
children with
special
needs.
8.
Dress your
child in
comfortable
clothes. They
don!|t need to
be in formal
outfits. If
your child is
uncomfortable
then this will
only lead to
problems,
especially if
your child has
a sensory
issue.
9.
Don!|t worry if
you don!|t get
that
!¢Dperfect!|
picture; after
all, what is
perfection?
Pictures of
children
laughing and
playing are
wonderful and a
perfect memory
and are usually
better than a
posed
photograph.
Also, you
don!|t want to
push your child
too hard for a
perfect pose
otherwise you
may upset them
and then there
will be no
photo at
all.
10. Allow your
child the
chance to get
used to the
camera. Let the
have a look at
it and show
them how it
works. Take a
few practice
shots and make
it into a fun
and exciting
game. This will
help them to
relax and be
calm.
At
the end of the
day, the aim is
to get some
nice photos of
your child.
This means that
they must be as
relaxed and as
calm as
possible.
Stress will
only ensure
that you don!|t
get any photos
and after all
!V a relaxed
and happy photo
will only
happen if your
child is
exactly that !V
relaxed and
happy!
