I need to teach my Son about safety personal care and hygiene and when and when not to dial the emergency services. I’m not sure how much he takes in verbally/ orally. With books and cartoons he will only look at and watch what he wants to. Any ideas?
Hello NAS75657,
It is great that you have considered talking about these concepts with your son. You might find it useful to have a look at out information on 'Social Stories' and visual supports, which can help autistic children to better understand day-to-day concepts/topics as well has prepare of upcoming events or changes in routine:

I hope this helps,
