We have told our 8yo his diagnosis which seemed to go well. He has mentioned it to a few of his friends which we are taking as a good sign. We would like to run a session with his friends/class so that all the kids are getting good info about autism. Any tips would be most appreciated. Any good videos/teacher resources?Has anyone used the resources provided by NAS? Are they good? Thanks Jen
If you're interested in using information from NAS to teach your son's friends about autism, a good place to start might be the 'What is Autism' section of the site - https://www.autism.org.uk/about/what-is/asd.aspx - which has a short video on the subject and three leaflets to read, 'I am Autistic', 'Understanding Autism' and 'Children on the Spectrum'. You could also look at the Too Much Information campaign, which is an NAS project aimed at increasing public understanding of autism through videos and stories and you can find here - https://www.autism.org.uk/get-involved/campaign/tmi.aspx
