Speaking as a former person who worked with people who have autism, the more you try the better it will get. He did awesome just for going and doing well! Next time he might participate, but if not you are absolutely right to be exposing him to new experiences.

I got it because I thought the solid animal images would be great for a shaped mini-book, but this is a great way to use the letters!<br /><br />On another note, I have a 5 year old autistic son (my LOVE!). He's my youngest of 3. This is his first year at elementary school and right now I'm just hoping that he gets a chance to be invited to friends birthdays like every other kid. He has a hard time bonding with kids his age and I totally understand the fear of new things for your son. Lucas ALWAYS wants to "go home" even if we are somewhere he's having fun, so kuddos to him for giving it a go and trying something new & to you for supporting him, I know it can sometimes be frustrating to watch the struggle, but just getting him involved is so worth it! :)<br />Much love!Kelly Braundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627663837383525444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669133408298246741.post-45707933672783784522011-01-10T07:08:58.745-06:002011-01-10T07:08:58.745-06:00Great idea, love the way you did his name!Great idea, love the way you did his name!Kimberlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186913650231769982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669133408298246741.post-46348466029396836802011-01-10T05:06:43.155-06:002011-01-10T05:06:43.155-06:00Love!! bag and matching card.
