[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 291310, member: 1550"] I recommend social skills classes for an 11 year old who still throws sand. He is doing the sensory thing, but not all Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids do this at this age. They are all different. Social skills classes and therapy directed at autistic kids has my sixteen year old so functional that he's going to take driver's ed next year (he'll be seventeen and yes I"m scared!). Autistic kids may not understand the real idea behind an apology by the way. Depends on where they are on the spectrum. My son does understand. Some sixteen year olds with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) still don't understand that if you talk too much and in someone's face, they will possibly shun you. In spite of my son being high functioning, due to some quirks, he's still probably going to need some help. For example, he doesn't understand why he has to smell good. He would never shower if we didn't force the issue. Amazingly, his friends and peers never bring it up and he can be ripe at times. Our kids lag behind other kids in the developmental department, but we can help things along by introducing them to things like social skills classes, which almost all of them could benefit from.
