As an Autism Mom Coach in Dubai, I often meet mothers who are navigating the early days of their child's autism diagnosis. One of the most heart-tugging concerns I hear is this: “I don't think my child knows how to express love.” If you've ever felt this, I want you to know - you are not alone, and more importantly, your child absolutely does know how to love.

At Lumina Paths Coaching, where I work closely with moms through Autism Coaching in Dubai for Moms, I've had the joy of seeing countless families come to a beautiful realization. A few months or years down the line, these same moms say with glowing hearts: “My child is overflowing with love - they express it in the most beautiful, unexpected ways.”

So what's really going on?

Understanding Autism and Love Languages
When it comes to Autism in Dubai - or anywhere else - we must remember this: autistic children may not always express affection in the "traditional" ways we're used to seeing. But that doesn't mean love isn't there. It just means we need to learn their language - their way of showing they care.

Let's explore some of the unique and meaningful ways children on the autism spectrum express love:

Physical Touch - On Their Own Terms
Not all children with autism avoid physical affection. Some love a hug, a snuggle, or a gentle touch - but always on their terms. Let them initiate. When they do, it's not just a gesture. It's love, loud and clear.

Repeating Words or Gestures
Has your child ever repeated a phrase, song lyric, or action over and over again? This can be more than a comforting habit - it can be their way of saying “I love you.” When they bring their favorite toy to you or ask to sing a song together for the 10th time, that's connection. That's love.

Non-Verbal Affection
Children with autism often show affection in subtle, non-verbal ways. Maybe your child quietly sits beside you. Maybe they copy something you do. These small actions can speak volumes - they're mirroring how they like to be treated, and they're showing they feel safe and close to you.

Sharing What Matters to Them
When your child offers you a toy, a drawing, or even a random object they're attached to - take it as a compliment. In the world of autism, sharing is deeply significant. It means they want you in their world. They want to connect.

At Lumina Paths Coaching, I, Asma Ahmad, am committed to helping moms like you build stronger emotional bridges with your children. Through personalized Autism Coaching in Dubai for Moms, we uncover not just strategies, but real connection, empathy, and joy in everyday moments.

Because love doesn't always look like what we expect - sometimes, it's even more beautiful.
