how do you have children with autism interacct with children witout how do you explain?

Answer 1

it takes some work, but its worth it. I explain to the kids that he was born different, and its hard for him to have a conversation, but he loves to play just like them. I keep my eye on the situation so if he or the other kids are getting frustrated I can step in and smooth things out. I have found that its better to let him play with kids just a little younger than him , they are usually closer to the same level. It helps to have them play with multiple use toys, like blocks, sandboxes, cars etc, rather than toys with specific uses that autistic kids may not want to do. Find a parent who is understanding too, kids pick up their attitudes to those different from themselves from their parents. IF you can find a support group you may find families with sibling without autism, and they will be used to socializing with autistic kids. Good luck.

Answer 2

Oh, absolutely. Sometimes it's not easy because the children with full functioning sometimes do not accept or understand a kid who is so different. However, if they are patient, I have seen autistic children be taught to play cards by other children (aged around 12, so old enough to understand). Basically, take it slow, be sure to explain what's going on, and get the child out there playing.

Answer 3

Depends upon the autistic child. Is he able to talk? Does he play nicely or is he liable to hit & scream? Speak to the other kids' Moms & tell them about him. He probably has to be watched all the time by adults, anyway. My Grandson can't speak, so we just tell the little kids that he has a problem & can't talk.
