Hi hemashaker,
What do you mean you are a shadow for an autistic child? Do you use choice boards with him at table time and other times when he wants something? Try repetetiveness when using the choice boards... Swinging is a great reinforcement as it helps with the vestibular system and sensory system when he needs a break. Let me know what you think of what I suggested and if you have any questions at all!
Hugs,
Kris
PS: So sorry I didn't get back to you sooner... I was in the hospital in and out with C-Diff. Do you find this valuable?
