First, if you have not already, connect with a local Autism group for assistance, like NAAR (http://www.autismspeaks.org). They can really be invaluable to help find local social activities for your son, and it can connect you with other parents that will have the best resources for your area.
Here are some good places online:
http://www.dotolearn.com/
This site sells some stuff, but they have a fantastic section of free hands-on tools and activities for students of all ages, but primarily Preschool - 4th grade stuff.
http://www.wrightslaw.com/links/free_pubs.htm#autism
This site is more of the education and awareness side of things. It cites several law resources and federal program guides, etc. Good to learn more about autism in general, which will help with engaging your son every step of the way.
http://www.wingslearningcenter.org/resources_4/resources4.html
This is the links page from the Wings Learning Center website. Their site is very basic, but they have an extraordinary list of external resource website links available.
I hope this information helps. Best of luck to you and your family - you're doing a great job!

I paintings with particular demands scholars in K-6 grade, and it may be difficult. I anticipate you could have had your son confirmed and is in a particular schooling application. Do what the professionals operating along with your son recommend you to do. Also, Autistic youngsters do excellent with constitution and pursuits. You can write or mounted a everyday snapshot agenda, so he'll understand what is going to be going down throughout the day. You will have to even be studying to him everyday. Also, do not be afraid to invite for support. Your nearby Regional Center is a first-class useful resource.
