Control Your Laughter when You Have Autism

Laughing is difficult to control and even harder to control for those who have the symptom of any form of autism. People who have autism can be repetitive which is why it is hard for some of them to control their laughter.

Steps

 * 1)  Ask your parents to set an appointment with your doctor to see if you are allergic to milk. Some people who have certain types of autism can experience allergic reactions to dairy milk that can cause them to have laughter fits. If you experience that type of reaction to diary milk or products that contain diary milk, drink silk milk as an alternative regularly.
 * 2)  Ask yourself what is causing you to laugh when a laughing fit occurs.
 * 3)  If what you're laughing at is happening at the moment, keep laughing until everyone around has stopped laughing. If you're the only one who is laughing, apply step four.
 * 4)  Think about the sad side of what you are laughing at. For example, people laugh at Paris Hilton. She is rich, famous and stupid, but there is a sad side to this. Her parents were very neglectful and they were just as spoiled as she is. Due to the fact that her parents did not give her the attention she needed, she did stupid and crazy things in order to get attention. The stupid and silly stuff she does causes people to laugh at her. She has no talent at all, but she acts in movies and records records to get attention. Her lack of talent also causes people to laugh at her. If she was an heiress, or if she was born to a rich and famous family and she had no job, she would be nowhere in life. She could even be homeless. Is that funny? Remember, every laughing matter always has an unfunny side to it.

Tips

 * Avoid situations that can cause you to think about what you're laughing at.
 * Avoid thoughts which may cause you to laugh.
 * Think about something else which is not so funny, or try to see the 'unfunny' side.

Warnings

 * Don't take your sense of humor away. If you watch a movie you think is really funny, think of the funny and unfunny sides of all the funny parts. In many comedies, the funny parts are actually serious, creepy, or hurtful to others in real life. Think about why it's not funny in reality. That's why most movies are fictitious.
