My first autism seminar

Asperger's Syndrome and High Functioning Autism, delivered by Jay Berk, Ph.D. I learned a lot but then I have a lot to learn. These kids, these kids do get under your skin. Gave me ideas for the play group, gave me idea for Julia. Bought books with social stories, including, Hands are not for hitting. Asked Berk if there was a really good books about social groups -- he said no. Came away feeling that the social group is important, and that parents should participate or need their own group.

I bought Hands are not for Hitting when my (NT) son was younger and having an issue, it's a wonderful book and really helped him.
