Here is what I do to help him in our classroom
and out on the playground.
1. Every day I say good morning and Good bye
when we leave. Sometimes he answers and sometimes
he doesnt ..but I always try.someday he will
answer me I just know it!

2. I dont talk too fast and I give time for him
to answerif he doesnt answer I try to show him
what I want with a picture,waving my hand or
pointing to what I mean.

3. When it is time to come in from the
playground I help him find the line. I take his
hand and point to the line and say,Were going
in now.

4. When we work together I make sure I say
good job when he is working, and tell him it is
work time when he forgets.

5. Sometimes I can tell when he is getting
upset, so When that happens I always tell my
teacher so she can help him calm down.

Having and helping a friend with Autism is
actually pretty normal.
