Thanks Robert123. Thats helpful. He likes watching funny you tube videos (internet settings are safe) and listening to music. Also plays on his xbox.
We have learnt over the years that if he feels at all pushed then he wont engage. As a result we have gone the other way and things are stagnating.
I think that your suggestion to get him involved without him realising is a great one - I am just stuck as to how we actually do this.
Sometimes he doesnt mind me joining him on his xbox.
Im just not being imaginative and would welcome others experiences of what works for them?
Just a few warnings.
"Internet settings are safe". Ha ha ha. To many autistics and NTs, safe internet settings are seen as a challenge to get round and see what is being hidden.
Young female visitors. They should be aware in advance of your son's problems.
Pets, intention is to get person to engage. But danger is that opposite might occur and dogs may attack or person can have panic attack or meltdown. Suggest you visit an animal charity and watch his reaction.
