This morning my son started
social skills camp, so his counselor
took him away and the learning
began.
For me, that is. I have no idea
what he was doing.
But I had the opportunity
to talk with other parents
and find out a little of what
their kids read and don't.
I hope some of
you will share your insights
here.
Not surprisingly, one mom mentioning
moving beyond Seuss. The patterns
and rhymes that make Seuss such
a good early choice can also turn
the books into a stim (my son
sometimes stands and flips
through picture books).
Another mother whose boy
has an Asperger's diagnosis
mentioned two reading needs-
getting him to read outside
his interest (sharks) and
having him read for
social habits.
Both books I have
imaged here are probably
too elementary for him.
But finding books that
appeal yet move beyond
core interests could work.
Although I know the
fixations of a child
with Asperger's can
be extremely challenging,
I've read of that
obsession as sometimes
working as a starting
point. Can anyone
comment on that point?
And does anyone know
of shark-related stories
(The Shark who Brushed
his Teeth Really Well)?
