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

Parents

     I think it is you that needs taught on Autism for your sons sake.

    i agree with this particular statement as the specialists who work with autism in my area run a short course for parents and carers which i attended a few weeks ago, this along with watching and reading up on it from an person who has autium's point of view has helped me understand my son so much more in the past few weeks than i did before unfortunatly not every one has the opportunity to attend such courses.
