Preschooler/pre K Support for Autism Spectrum

My son is 11 on the spectrum. I saw that you asked for support systems. Do you social skills help? There are MANY social skill groups around the metroplex that focus on all ages. You can join WARRIOR PARENTS on Facebook where you can ask anything and everything. There is a yahoo group called DFW MAFEA and the women are great at supporting and giving information. You can also email me and I will give you names of places and you can tell me in more detail what you need.

Does he have an ARD through the school district? He should have some sort of plans in place to help him with the social aspects of school.

One thing that helped my son (originally thought he was on the spectrum, but turns out his diagnosis was something else) was doing something called Social Stories. I'm sure that the special ed teachers at the school would have something like that available that you could do with him at home so improve his socialization skills. You might even be able to find something on line or in a bookstore.

There is a parent support group at First Baptist Church Carrollton these mommas are very up to date on these types of issues you might want to contact them and get more info. Fbcc.org/women/exceptional moms

I'm the parent of an autistic little boy, 5 who is also in preschool. Is it possible that perhaps there is a reason behind his issues? Such as too much stimulation, noise, brightness, etc? Could it be also that he prefers to work or play in smaller group situations? I don't foresee a preschool expecting perfection out of behavior out of any child anywhere on spectrum. I realize this preschool relationship is newer, have you tried setting up a conference to discuss these issues with the teacher(s)? Are you aware of their expectations of your child? One last question, have you tried social stories about his experiences in preschool?
