[QUOTE="keista, post: 532756, member: 11965"] Honestly, my best success has been with the siblings. My two Aspies have opposing deficits, so they kind of correct each other, and the third will correct both older ones. Of course, I teach them skills daily. The current mission is for son's every day walking around town skills - mostly going in and out of door that you manually open. Other than that I just take advantage of every possible social teaching moment. In school he gets placed in groups usually with girls - the more nurturing of the species. They are better able to explain NICELY when he's being a stubborn butthead. It is so tough. The social skills classes with like-minded peers are the best thing out there, BUT it's with like-minded peers, and all the structured role playing in the world only helps in the real world when the [B]exact same[/B] situation presents itself. Change just one variable, one response, and the typical B&W thinking Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is not going to know how to adjust. [/QUOTE]
