Question by mybubblesrblue: What are good activities to do with a child with autism?
I work with a kid who is 13 and has autism, he is non verbal but understands what i am saying and listens very well. He loves going to our local library and listening to music on the computer. But we do that so often that i feel bad for not taking him else where. I need to find some local places i could go or cheap activities for us to do that would entertain him. We live in naperville, illinois. thanks!

well the great thing about children with autism is they LOVE routine so where your getting bored he is excited each and everyday waiting for those activities to come up. If you changed his routine it could completely throw him out of his routine and he could end up really disliking the choice and be very upset the rest of the day or possibly rest of the week. I recommend you keep him with what he is happy doing or maybe you could show him some pictures of activities and include what he normally does and see what he picks. My guess is it will be what he does everyday.
Give your answer to this question below!
I would recommend spectator things if he shows any interest such as the zoo if he doesn’t fear animals or an unguided tour at a museum so you can go at your own pace. Its a matter of finding his niche. Many autistic people excel or have interest in a certain area. If his interest is airplanes you could park at the airport and watch planes take off. Since he likes music you could look for a local website for your area that has listings for free live bands. There is also feeding ducks at the park, kite flying, remote control cars in an open area.
Well I as an individual also suffered from a similiar sort of problem since the age of 18 years but whatever I am today is because of my parents. My father never lost hope he kept on saying to himself that one day his son would recover, his eyes would definitely open and he would become a great person. Look we should never ever lose hope because when we make efforts the results shall definitely be positive but this is all time consuming. I as a spastic paraparis child recovered from acute physical handicappness since the age of 18 to 30 and now I lead a perfectly normal life. Even a certain day would come when your child would also recover and become great, be patient and never lose hope on god, time shall certainly recover your child.
My son loves parks and swimming pools. the beach, he loves to climb… I don’t know, I treat my son who is autistic like my other children as much as possible. He loves to shop for and pick his own clothes..
