How should I explain my son's autism to his 3-5 year old friends?

Kina

Hello

I took my 4 year old son with autism to an NT birthday party today, and it was clear to me that the kids did not understand his behaviour (i.e. not conforming and problems transitioning). Some laughed at him and some were nasty.  Does anybody know of a youtube video or short animated story teaching young NT kids about autism?  I believe the kids and parents could benefit from some information. I'd be so grateful for some recommendations.

Thanks

  • Thanks Azalea.  My response to Autismtwo is in accordance with yours.  Not helpful.  Thanks for the warning re educating the other parents and children.  Luckily he'll be in a unit from September, so I guess it'll be more likely the parents will be more understanding anyway.  Can only hope.
