Question
hi Trey,do you have checklist self feeding for autism?if you don't mind..can you explain step by step how to teach children with autism to eat with spoon and frog..thank you so much for your attention..i hope you can help me..
Hi there, Irene!
I'm not completely sure what you mean here by 'checklist self feeding for autism'. Do you mean when self-feeding is supposed to show up in a normal child? Or... am I misunderstanding it altogether?
As for how to teach children with autism, it depends on just how old they are and how profoundly autistic they are. Generally, though, you teach them in much the same way you would with a normal child and work up from there. I'll need a little more detail if I'm going to answer this *in* more detail, unfortunately!
Looking forward to hearing more detail. :)
Trey

Expertise
My primary expertise is in the area of the social, psychological, and mental development of Aspergers Syndrome and other high-functioning Autistic Spectrum Disorders. I am also very knowledgeable in the communication disorders and common co-existing issues. I'm well-read on most of these as well as having experienced it myself. Other aspects of autism, I can do fairly well at as well, from the oversensitivity to the recognition of it. Warning: I am *not* a medical professional, and while I can research answers through books and online, I can not give direct medical expertise.
Experience
I am 19 years diagnosed Asperger's Autistic, and have been reading up and studying it, as well as taking 'first hand accounts' for most of those 14 years. In addition, I have had three children, adopted elsewhere, all of whom are varying degrees of autistic from mid to high functioning. My mother has done some research on the subject as well, and passed some of it on to me.
Education/Credentials
I have completed grade school and most of high school, and achieved a GED. I've also received home schooling.
