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.

Answer by rbrumbaugh22
Hi, sounds like you got yourself a great career here. First off, I am not any teacher or anything, but would love to become involved with children. I currently work with special needs people, and want to broaden my skills. I would say for first day activities, I would have them put blocks together according to colors, sizes, or have them try drawing anything that they have on their mind. Let them play with toys so you can get a feel for what they like or don’t like. Let them mingle with other kids and see how their interaction skills are, so that down the road you can form little groups and sort them accordingly for future activities. I know this answer may not make any sense, but I just thought I’d try sharing my opinion. God bless.

Answer by Sandy Sandals
Autism really emcompasses a vast array of conditions so I doubt it can be simulated but there is an autistic author named Temple Grandin who has several videos and has authored a few books on her condition. Google her. There are varying degrees of autism and she is more high-functioning than most but it is still very insightful.

Question by JMD: I work with a 3-year-old boy with Autism. What are some fun activities I can do with him in a swimming pool?
This is a school program. I work with a 3-year-old boy with Autism. He can talk but he doesn’t communicate very much. What are some good, fun activities I can do with him in a swimming pool, to get him aclimated to the water and so that he as a very good time. Also, how can I help him work on language and pragmatic skills?

Best answer:

Answer by TJMiler
Buy some very simple pool or beach toys – floating rings, bucket, beach ball, etc. One of the autistic children I worked with at camp didn’t like the depth of the pool at first. We filled a baby pool with water near the larger pool. He would fill the bucket with water and dump it through one of the floating rings. We would say words to him as he did this – bucket, water, etc. He became comfortable with the water and we eventually moved his toys to the larger pool.

My son has severe autism. When he was in preschool there were six little boys in the class. The favorite activity of ALL the boys was the Picnic table.

http://www.target.com/Step-2-Step2-Picnic-Table/dp/B001JTBZIM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&frombrowse=0&node=1038576&keywords=toy%20picnic%20table&field_browse=1038576&searchSize=30&id=Step%202%20Step2%20Picnic%20Table&field_availability=-2&refinementHistory=subjectbin%2Ctarget_com_age%2Ctarget_com_gender-bin%2Ctarget_com_character-bin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&searchNodeID=1038576&field_launch-date=-1y&searchRank=target104545&searchPage=1&field_keywords=toy%20picnic%20table

the link should work but if it doesn’t google “Step2 Picnic Play Table”

you could open the top to it and the teacher would put something different in it everyday. She would fill it with dried beans and cups and sand shovels, she would put cotton balls in it, shaving cream, water with boats and other floating things, finger paint, anything tactile. just be creative. you can tell them to fill a cup, pour it out, paint or whatever. the boys could sit together and play. i have lots of photos of my son and his little buddies having a great time playing in the little table. These boys were 3 to 5 and they were not to big to sit at this table.
