Ok I need some tips for my DS's teacher, I have to go to the school in about 2 hrs.
I have printed off !0 things your autistic student wishes you knew, but other than that, I'm at a loss.
She's having trouble getting him to do his work, and keeping him focused on it, mainly coloring, he doesn't mind the letters as much.
Any sites where I can print up some useful info for the teacher?

Adora - There is a great book that I gave my son's teacher: Simple Strategies that Work - Helpful Hints for All Educators of Students with Asperger Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism and Related Disabilities by Brenda Smith Myles. It is very visual, easy-to-read and specific. You can get it at Amazon.
Good luck!
