Last fall, a parent asked me for resources as she faced the impending death of her mother and wanted to help her autistic teen understand what was happening. A search of resources for death, grief, and autistic youth turned up countless books, articles, and videos. But there was a problem — this child is not only autistic but non‐speaking — and not one of these resources offered anything for such children.
David P. Lichtenstein (Thu,) studied this question.
