[QUOTE="buddy, post: 466499, member: 12886"] Just a thought....Often there is a method used to explain social expectations and hidden rules that the rest of us just pick up along the way in life. It is called social stories. Aspies are often visual and need direct teaching about social skills, behaviors and consequences. They are written in a specific way and at the level of the child in question. Never assume they can handle whole books on the subject, this is usually a half page to one page kind of thing. There are several web sites and it is likely that his Special Education. teachers or sp. path at school (if he has these) know how to write them in their sleep. School folks who work with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids will often write stories about home issues to work on with the family so it is worth asking if your hubby is willing and if there even are such staff for you. Other methods are trading cards (not baseball, it is a technique with social skill training) and comic strips...(again, not the newspaper funnies...ones you make regarding social rules) All of these thins can be searched on the internet easily. There are specific resources for older kids and kids with Asperger's so if you see little picture social stories about using a kleenex dont worry...there are all levels! (though some of us are still working on the kleenex thing) Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Aspies can often tell you the rules and that it is not ok to steal....but they dont really get it so you have to work on it in a different kind of way.
