However, homeschooling children with autism creates even greater challenges. When homeschooling an autistic child, it is necessary to provide a healthy balance of support and education. At Alee, we help families and children by offering a range of therapies and support at our autism clinic to ensure each child reaches their full potential. With this in mind, we’ve put together 5 tips for homeschooling autistic children! When homeschooling autistic children: 1) Follow a routine. Your child is used to following a specific schedule.

Literal thinking can come in handy in many different areas of your child’s life. For example, it often enables them to perform well in school, especially in subjects that are based on fact or the ability to recognize patterns. For example, in one study by Stanford University, “children with autism and average IQs consistently demonstrated superior math skills compared with non autistic children in the same IQ range.” Autism Literal thinking can also help your children make smarter, more informed decisions in other areas of their life, as they’re better able to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. Furthermore, employers are often on the lookout for literal thinkers.

Children with   autism and related disorders   work best within a routine, both in and out of school. For example, they often like to know what they are doing and when. This knowledge is often empowering as they feel more confident heading into their day, knowing they will not encounter any unexpected challenges. As a field trip is a direct deviation from their routine, this can lead to some upset. However, that’s not to say that children with autism do not enjoy field trips, especially when specific accommodations are put in place to support them!
