STP 2.4
People with Autism.....
Present with three issues:
Social issues
Communication issues
Repetitive behaviours-focussed on one particular thing for a long period of times.
Mild presentation historically wasn't diagnosed as autism.
Severe stress exacerbates symptoms, symptoms with time and management can be hidden and people on the spectrum can function in society. Specially if their IQ is within normal range.
Unpredictable school setting can cause extra stress for ASD child, this can be managed by increasing predictably and explaining what is going to happen. Give advanced notice about relievers and expected transition to help child manage their expectations. Ten minute then five minute warnings to help anticipate transitions. All children on the spectrum have different needs, you cannot use a general strategy for managing all children with ASD.
Observe children and try to recognise how they respond to sensory stimulation such as light, sound and touch and then work our how they can lessen exposure or manage the way they cope with it.
Use social stories to help children manage stressful situations. Use a calendar, show them as much as you can before the event happens.
