Home Set-up for My Spectrum Daughter

I am looking for some encouragement and basic help with my 4 year old. She is undiagnosed as an Aspergers child, and I am trying to work within her limitations to create a diverse and exciting home study place. I work full-time, so I try to make the very best out of the time I do get with her.

I was hoping to gain some insight on techniques, activities, and setup for a creative learning place within our home, some place she can always go to when it's studying time! Right now she's practicing letters and putting words together. I feel like I just don't know the correct paths to take to make her experiences holistic and engaging.

Can anyone offer some help?

Homeschooling an undiagnosed asperger's child.

I am a diagnosed Asperger's person which you can see from my username.

I am public-schooled but will homeschool any of my future children if and when they occur.

What my teachers did with me is they asked a lot what they said because I would refuse to make eye contact with them a lot of the time. I then proceeded to **** them off because I would repeat it verbatim and they'd just stand there thinking '****, can't tell her off.'.

Interstingly, when I do make eye contact and its always forced, even though no-one asks me what they just said, it's harder to remember because I was concetrating on the social aspects, which as an aspie, is difficult.

So I think the most important thing you can do is refrain from urging/forcing her to make eye contact.

Also, be aware that she may expirence sensory overload or other sensory issues.

Aspie raises some good points..

something for you to think about is the incorporation of music
and jingles in the learning process.

you should also start looking into the underlying cause to see if it is
something that can be helped.

If there is an underlying physical issue to resolve, it will make the
social aspects etc, of Aspergers more pronounced.

I'll try to swing through here later to see how it's going.
