An Aspies key to success is his/her special interest. Encourage what they are interested in. If the interest of the day is dinosaurs, find videos, books, wesites, museums, etc... If it's art, make sure there are always pencils, markers, and paper available. This is their "silver lining". My son has always loved trains. So, we go railroad exhibits and rides. We have videos, and what seems like miles of train track including wooden trains , plastic trains, diecast metal trains; electric, push, and battery operated! He's only 13 so he has other interests but Tony Attwood has assured me that he will find that one extra special interest and there in may lie the perfect job for him. Good luck in pursuing those interests! Check out my famous person list to see what the Asperper's potential can be. With support, encouragement, and practice our Aspie's can lead full, productive, rewarding and successful lives. Social skills training is as essential for success as speech thereapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral intervention. Request it at you next IEP!
