Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitioning from high-school into college and/or the workforce can be extremely challenging for individuals on the autism spectrum as well as their families and teachers. Although some young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) do achieve independence after high school, many continue to depend on their families for support. Understanding the unique problems associated with ASD including socialization, communication, independent daily living skills, academic functions, and self-advocacy is critical when determining a transitional support plan. According to the California Department of Developmental Services, the number of individuals diagnosed with ASD is increasing every year. Many of these students will attend postsecondary educational settings or enter the work force. The purpose of this graduate project is to develop a resource guide for transitioning students with ASD from high school to beyond. The target audiences include students with ASD, their parents and their teachers.

This book was released on 2014-07-12 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Skills involved a lot more than just executing a technical skill set. Social thinking is an advanced pattern of thinking we use in all social situations. For most of us this pattern of thinking comes naturally. We have to put forth little effort to use our social thinking skills. For those with Autism this part of the brain is impaired. We have to work much harder at using our social thinking skills in order to be successful in social relationships. This book is all about social thinking. Having your child in counseling is one thing. In my experience counselors are not social skills coaches and are unable to assist those of us with Autism in learning the necessary social skills that we need. This book gives you some general knowledge ideas about social thinking along with some of my best practice ideas and solutions for teaching social thinking to your child with Autism. Social thinking analyzes the entire social situation. How do we know when it is our turn to speak? How do we know how far apart from someone to stand? How do we know what appropriate body language is for the situation we are in? How do we analyze all of these things. This book helps you prepare your child for the teenage years and the adult years. Don't miss the chance. Pick up a copy of How to Be a Good Social Thinker today to prepare your child for tomorrow. This version of How to Be a Good Social Thinker comes with a complete Autism Resource Guide that touches on subjects such as special interests, make-believe world of autism, coping mechanisms, escape into imagination, and much more.

Download or read book Navigating Autism written by Neuro Dive and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing the word "autism" in relation to our little ones can at times feel overwhelming, but it's important to recognize that this reaction is normal. Our society often associates "differences" with negativity, but in reality, being different is about uniqueness, individuality, and singularity. It's a mistake to view autism as a disease or disability; rather, it's a condition that comes with its own set of characteristics. While the journey of understanding and supporting an autistic child might involve trial and error, the rewards are immeasurable. This guide is designed to illuminate our path as parents, offering a wealth of ideas and methods that allow us to connect with our children through various forms of communication. It encompasses diverse resources to help us identify if our child falls within the autism spectrum, as well as multiple approaches to address the challenges we face day by day. Through these strategies, we're empowered to embrace our child's uniqueness and nurture their growth.
