Questions and answers
Do you prefer the term autistic person or person with autism?
“I think of myself personally as autistic first. It is everything. It is pervasive in every experience. I really don’t expect people to understand the experience of others anyway. I don’t care much what labels you use. Thanks for asking though. People mostly assume it’s how they see it.”-Aiden Nadler, 14, Classmate & Self-Advocate
Should I try harder to help my child sit if it looks hard for them?
“I don’t think so unless they are doing something that requires sitting. We need movement. Maybe you should practice sitting when it’s not required.” -Aiden Nadler, 14, Classmate & Self-Advocate
My kid won’t eat anything, how do I get him to try something new?
“Keep Exposing him to it, we sometimes need to work up to new things by seeing, smelling and touching it more.” -Aiden Nadler, 14, Classmate & Self-Advocate .

How much should a practitioner, CRP or parent push a student in a spelling session?

YOU SHOULDN’T PUSH INDIVIDUALS TO COMMUNICATE. NO POTENTIAL STUDENT WOULD LIKE THAT.
OFFER RESTING STRATEGIES TO THEM.
