| Something that helped me a lot during school was when a teacher would answer my "Yes or No" questions with either "Yes" or "No", and would give a further explanation only if I asked for one. What never helped was receiving a long explanation as to why I should not have... |

| That is so cool. Your granddaughter sounds like one lucky girl! They are [3 grandsons and 2 granddaughters]. I am a pattern thinker. I came across the following Youtube video this weekend. It is basically pattern matching. So I played it and then the grandkids came in. So I played it again and let ... |

| What do you think of offering alternatives to individual students at the beginning of the session (as long as the main goal is accomplished)? As in, "We have to do these 10 math problems today, etc. Would you like to do it by method A or Method B?" Since I've started tutoring, my book bag... |

| Try and come up with alternate ways to teach a lesson. Figure out what works best. Every person learns differently! :mrgreen: What do you think of offering alternatives to individual students at the beginning of the session (as long as the main goal is accomplished)?

| I think this is a good idea for most Aspies. As for me, I would just throw the schedule in the garbage. I don’t like going according to schedules. I hardly ever took notes in college— too much effort! I would gauge the individual reactions to what you’re doing...and don’t make this an absolute requ... |

| Printing out a schedule for the lesson. As a former teacher myself, I think this is always a good idea. Many people (including me) do fine if we know what the schedule is. If we have to guess what's supposed to happen, you never know what we might come up with. :D Thanks! I'm going to start printin... |

| Generally I learn by actually doing things - hands on experience. So the more tangible you can integrate this into study plan, I suspect the more successful you will be. There are many types of Autistics. Most autistics are high functioning autistics (HFA's) or Aspies. A few are less advanced. From... |

| Hey everyone. I'm a private tutor and former professor looking for better ways to help fellow aspies learn. I'm also on the spectrum, and students on the spectrum seem to gravitate toward me (I feel very fortunate for this). As it goes, the tips and tricks that have worked for me don't always work f... |

| Thank you for the welcome! And yes--not a day goes by when I don't realize how lucky I am to have this kind of understanding. I've been in jobs where I didn't have that and it was untenable. |

| Long time reader, first time poster here. I was diagnosed in 2014 by a team of professionals, including an NP, psychiatrist and a social worker. The Dx fit me to a "t" and in the span of a few days I had answers to hundreds upon hundreds of questions that I'd asked over the prior 20+ years... |
