Hi, does anyone know of any good and safe forums for siblings of ASD children. My 10 years old daughter would like to chat with other children in a child friendly and fun forum. Any ideas?

Thanks for the posts. I think the targets are too confusing for Alfie but I was interested what other people thought. I have yet another meeting tomorrow at his school in which I will try to get him the support he needs and for them to understand that his behaviour is more than just stubbornness. Its like smashing your head against a wall, I've been asking for a home school diary since he started 18 months ago but I'm told they don't have time to fill it in and that all children dislike telling their parents what they did at school!!!

Hi, this is my first post. My son is 6, ASD with significant language delay and is in a "Special support centre" for children with MLD which is within a mainstream primary. In his IEP one of his targets is to be more assertive with his peers. It has been noted as a positive in his end of year report that he has begun to say "No" to his classmates if thay try to take his toy. He also says "No" to lots of requests at home but does not refuse in any other way. I think saying No is his only way of expressing his feelings when his language is limited. It is also a target on his Statement to begin to express his feeling to those around him. In the same report a target has been set for him to stop saying no to requests. How do I explan to him that it is OK to say no to other children but not to teachers?
