3 Did You Know Autism is a spectrum disorder Some people with autism have average or above average IQs. Many children with autism have mental retardation Autism is 4 times more common in boys than girls Once considered a rare disorder it now occurs in approximately 1 in every 91 people
4 Autism Children with autism experience difficulty in the areas of: 1. Communication/Language 2. Social skills/interacting with others 3. Have narrow interests and repetitive behaviors
5 Communication Development of language is significantly delayed Some do not develop language Difficulty with using language to get their wants and needs met Difficulty understanding when others are talking
6 Communication Difficulty starting or ending conversations or keeping conversations going Robotic, formal speech Echolalia: Repeat back what is just said or repeat back whole or partial scripts from movies, cartoons, commercials Difficulty with the practical use of language
7 Social Interaction Difficulty making friends Difficulty with give and take of social interactions Hard time understanding body language/facial expressions of others Hard time using body language/facial expressions May not be motivated by same things as other kids (like verbal praise good job )
8 Narrow Interests/Repetitive Behaviors Can become intensely focused on things that are different from what a typical peer is interested in Can have very strong rituals May move their body in a certain way, over and over (hand flapping, rocking) May become very focused on the part of an object May use their behavior as a way to communicate
9 Video Guide Make three columns on your paper and label them Communication, Social Skills and Behavior What characteristics of autism does this child display that would fit into these categories? Is there overlap between the columns?
10 Revisiting Autism Challenges in the areas of Social, Communication and Behavior 1 in 91 Spectrum disorder
11 Learning Characteristics 11
12 Concrete and Literal Thinkers Have difficulty thinking in the abstract
13 Concrete and Literal Thinkers What this means for you? Avoid the use of figurative language, idioms Activity: Draw a picture of what one of these phrases would mean to someone who takes everything literally. Cat got your tongue? Hit the road You re out in left field People in glass houses shouldn t throw stones Here s mud in your eye You re the whole enchilada Or think of your own phrase and illustrate. Share with the group.
14 Overselectivity Child may pay attention to one detail of a task/activity/toy/person instead of the whole thing May miss the main point of the task or activity
15 Overselectivity What this means for you Be sure to point out, highlight what is the main point of the task/activity
16 Lack of Generalization May learn a skill in one place and may not be able to do it in a different place
17 Lack of Generalization What this means for you: Teach your grandchild with ASD the skills they need in the places where they will use them!! Practice those skills in lots of different settings. Choose 1 skill Work with your group- how many places could you work on that skill? Standing in a line Taking turns Ordering food Sharing materials Using money Asking for help
18 Distractibility Easily distracted by things from the outside world and within themselves External things: Noise level of the room, things on the wall, smells, lighting, closeness of other people Internal things: Hunger, stress level, tiredness, sickness
19 Distractibility What this means for you: Be aware that certain settings might be hard for your grandchild (e.g. Walmart, crowded museum, loud movie) How could you reduce the distractions in those settings?
20 Strong Visual Learners Visual is their premium cable channel Your grandchild will often learn by seeing and doing
21 Strong Visual Learners What this means for you: Point Show them Draw a picture Write it down Give them an example of what it should look like
22 Strong need for Routines and Rituals Once learned, it is difficult to change Asset, liability or both?
23 Strong Need for Routines and Rituals What this means for you Be aware of routines and rituals (if they are not disruptive it is okay to follow the routine or ritual) Talk to your son or daughter about how to be supportive and how to encourage flexibility for when change is necessary
24 Motivation Motivation is often different from their peers Your grandchild s parents may have excellent ideas about what motivates your grandchild
25 Guess What s in the Box
26 Did anyone guess that a piece of PVC pipe and a feather duster would be in the box?
27 Communication Difficulty understanding spoken words Especially in times of stress Remember to give wait time. After saying something wait five seconds to allow your grandchild to process Difficulty using their words -Especially in times of stress
28 Communication What this means for you: Use less spoken language Reduce your talking significantly when giving a direction!!!!! Especially if they are upset. Show them instead. Pair words with a visual. It is very important that you remain calm. Your behavior will influence your grandchild s Have a back up system available
29 Myth Busters!!! You and your partner will be given a colored card with a myth on it You will also be given a blank card Read the myth With your partner, write the correct information on the blank Myth Buster card When all the groups are finished, share the myth and the Myth Buster Card!

86 Strategies for Success Support play by suggesting play ideas. (Example Hey, Bill likes Thomas the Tank Engine, why don t you two play with Thomas! ) Be sure to allow for wait time.

118 A Grandparents Perspective
119 Important Point to Ponder To improve a child s behavior we must know WHY they are engaging in challenging behavior
120 Similarities and Differences Similarities- Most challenging behaviors displayed by YOUNG children with autism, may be observed in young children without disabilities. Differences- How often, how severe and how long it goes on.
121
122 Access Does the child want something? Some challenging behaviors are a way for the child to communicate they want something (attention, an object, activity, person, food item etc.), or to protest when a desired object or activity is taken away or stopped.
123 Escape/Avoid Does the child want to get away from something/someone? Escape behaviors communicate the desire to escape or avoid certain activities or people
124 Sensory-Self Regulation Repetitive movements, such as body rocking, hand waving or head wagging, may be a person s way of dealing with the amount of activity going on around them. They may be over stimulated or under stimulated.
