This extremly difficult. There is no exact science since their is no etiology of autism it is hard to say. Austitic children live in their own bubble, and rebel against change. I dont think that your child will socialize with another, unless this child is solid figure in their lifes. From having a brother who suffers from this disease, I have seen many forms of autism, some more drastic than others. The best way to get your child to interact with another is through repetiveness. When your child see's the constant pattern forming in his life through the interaction of the other child then his social skills will develop. Most important trust. Your child will only accept those he can trust. Sometimes I think that autistic children are more fine tuned to their intuitiveness then we give them credit for, and they are truly gifted in miraculous ways that we can never fully understand. Be patient, and allow your guidance to be the factor of trust

I am currently beginning an internship with an autistic child in which I will be getting him to interact more frequently in a number of ways. The most important thing for an autistic child is to learn in small steps. You must begin small, such as making eye contact with someone else, and reward them for that. Once they are doing this on a regular basis, you can move on to a smile, perhaps. See the ABA program online. Don't be discouraged if they don't appear to be interested - it is part of the disorder and in time it will improve.

Take him/her to DisneyWorld! I'm being completely serious here...after a family vacation to Epcot and Magic Kingdom, both my aunt and I have seen major improvements in my cousin. I also think that if he/she spends time around lots of other kids, it helps also. At first, the other kids will sense something different about them, but I just let them know it's because he's "super-shy", and some of them will make a real effort to interact with my cousin. I think this seems to reinforce this idea and over time, he begins to socialize on his own.
Best wishes!

try to invite over other kids for a play date or try bringing over cousins, neighbor kids, or other child aged relatives. You might want to take a group of the kids out to do something, mini golf, movies, chucky cheese. once the other kids get around your child, they will feel more comfortable around eachother and might form a long lasting relationship. You also might want to consider county and state based programs for autstistic and down syndromed children. Austistic children are usually happier around others with disabilities, as they can relate. i wish you the best of luck with this task.
