Discussed in this episode Girls with ASD are often undiagnosed, because original diagnostic criteria have a boy bias.

There are many characteristics that are very similar to boys with ASD but I thought I would list the main differences to girls with ASD.

Discussed in this episode Strategies have been taken from The Essential Guide to Secondary School By Sue Larkey and Anna Tullemans In my experience one of the biggest challenges for staff and students with autism is the number of staff involved with the student compared to primary school.

Reinforcement across all settings will build competence faster and will result in more success for staff and students.

Discussed in this episode Why You Should Use Timers with Students with Autism Timers tell the student HOW LONG and WHEN they are going to have to do an activity. Timers allow you to pre-warn the student about activities finishing or starting. They help answer many of the questions these students may have: What is happening? What order? What time? What is next? How long? Timers also add certainty. As they inform the student of what to expect when and for how long. This can help to drastically reduce anxiety, which is especially important during this stressful Coronavirus period.
