Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Ok.. I am a Unit leader for the American Heritage Girls. I work with girls age 9-14. TWO of my new girls have Autism. One is diagnosed as being " on the Spectrum " , the other girl is not as high functioning. ( pardon me if I make mistakes here.. I have NO real idea what I am talking about.. ) In reality I am going to have to get to know each girl to figure out what their abilities are etc. But what are some basics are there any generalizations that are actually true? Structure.. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? ( I am a structure holic , but can go with the flow. But I do better in structure) . Any tips hints ideas or book recommendations so I can help them integrate into the group better, enhance their experience, and overall make it a positive experience for all involved. I have NO.. not a drop of experience with Autism whatsoever.
