The Thinking Person's Guide to Autism: Interview: Christa Dahlstrom of Flummox and Friends
Unfortunately, many of the products designed to teach social skills seem to ignore how sophisticated and smart our kids are. So for example, you’ve got a kid who enjoys the rapid fire dialogue of, say Phineas and Ferb, or can point out the differences between the original Star Wars and the 2011 reissue, and you give that kid a worksheet that says, “When I see my friend I say ‘Hello. How are you?’” well, it’s going to fall kind of flat.
Christa tiptoes nicely around her description of educational materials that currently exist to help kids with social challenges. (link to interview)
