I haven't been...Sorry for the delayed response. I haven't been keeping up with the blog lately. I would start with a social story that states it is okay if things are not perfect. You can also discuss in the story that the goal is not neatness but completion. Then have him read the story daily or several times a day to remind himself of the goal. Set up some type of reward system for completion of work. This reinforcement can be faded as he gains success. It may also be helpful to have a visual timer handy for him to view so he can learn to understand the time concepts. You could give him a bit longer than needed to complete the assignment, say 12 minutes for a math sheet of 15 problems. Then you could tape the #5 at the 4 minute mark, #10 at the 8 minute mark, and the #15 at the 12 minute mark. This will help him pace himself and not feel as stressed. Another idea is to make a game out of making mistakes. You could use the book Beautiful Oops to show him how to transform a mistake into something interesting. I know these measures are time consuming but if they help the problem, you will only have to do this for a short time. The goal is always to remove the props so that the child internalizes and generalizes the behaviors.

He is very intelligent but has difficulty moving beyond getting his name on his paper some days. He traces each letter 3-4 times and if it's not perfect will erase and start over. I know much of this stems from perfectionism and I need direction to help him move past this. The more one rushes him he will totally shut down or melt down.

Some children have been taught to look at a person's eyes as a scripted behavior instead of as a social piece of an interaction that allows the child to gather info and make important observations. Some of them have a tendency to stare unnaturally at others which, in fact, makes them feel creepy; this can also lead to a host of problems depending on ages and situations: charges of harassment, intimidation, or stalking. The Social Thinking curriculum (trademarked) teaches about "weird thoughts" others have in such situations. It makes a point of distinguishing between the thought and not portraying the child himself as being weird. I personally have adopted the term "uncomfortable thoughts" because of a similar feeling about using the word "weird". In using Michelle Winner's work it is important to study it and understand how to use it sensitively. Time, effort , and trust must be invested and built when working on personal issues such ad social skills. It is much worse to allow such a problematic behavior to persist. What we try to teach is how those behaviors affect others which in turn affects them personally. With most people with ASD these things have to be pointedly stated not hinted.Suzanne Herman, M.Ed., CCC-SLPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180682773115422599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429987224277635129.post-50735329828916650702014-01-29T01:06:52.407-06:002014-01-29T01:06:52.407-06:00Parts of this story explain the pragmatic purpose ...Parts of this story explain the pragmatic purpose of eye contact in a way that is easy to understand. However, I have an issue with page 9. It seems extremely inappropriate to suggest that secondary behaviors occurring with ASD such as inappropriate eye contact (staring) "makes people feel creepy" or "makes them feel like you may not be safe to be around" and will make them "have weird thoughts". Saying such things to any child, of any intellectual ability or developmental stage, could potentially make them feel as though they are "weird" or creepy", when in reality they have a difference in communication skills the SLP is trying to address.
