Whilst we're already doing stuff at home that works (and have done since he was 2yo, if we're honest) and DH and I work in ASD services, we have absolutely no idea what we should be suggesting that school can do. The only thing that we've come up with so far is that the 'games club' (encouraging turn taking and 'rules' in game situation, therefore 'fun')Blush I'm sure there are more, err, significant things we could suggest, but have no clue. I'm not holding my breath either - two years ago, after he was diagnosed as severely dyslexic, I took them cream paper to copy his stuff on to, as it helps him a lot... but it was never used.
Anyone who has experience of what a child with ASD needs in a mainstream primary classroom would be a massivew help. TIA!

He's turned out rather nicely so far. Smile

UnSerpentQuiCourt - re golden time. They have a sign up sheet for golden time activities, and one of the rewards the teacher uses during the week is you get to sign up for a golden time activity.

Which means DS gets to choose to watch a video every week ahead of time, and doesn't need to make any decisions on Fri afternoon.

And if you haven't 'earned' your golden time sign up during the week, then on Fri aft you have to do whatever's not full....

( I know, it sounds awfully complicated, but it seems to work. )
