There are sooo many resources out there. ABA therapy seems to be quite effective.

I have several books that have been helpful for my son’s teachers. There is one called something like Practical Tips for the Classroom…teaching kids with autism. If you check out amazon.com’s autism section you will find a bunch of titles. Also, contact an organization such as the geneva centre for autism or autism speaks. The geneva centre offers all kinds of workshops for parents and teachers. I’ve been to several and they’ve all been very useful.

In my experience, the key is patience and routine. Also, strange as it may sound, small food rewards are better than say computer time. This is because the food has an ending. Trying to get an autistic child off of something they really enjoy is not easy. Another thing is to give them the answer first, then ask the question the first time you tackle a new task. They do not like to fail, so will often not try something unless they know what is expected. I find that with my son. Problem solving is a difficult task to master, especially for these kids.
