[senco-forum] Asperger's help

I put up a request some weeks ago for help with the young man I am working with with AS,  many thanks to those who replied..there were some really helpful, practical strategies.

  After a lead in period, he has been in his new school full time for two weeks ( he was permanently excluded from his previous primary school for vioilence to a teacher) The integration process is having its ups and downs, not helped by the fact that the school no longer have LSA support in place. Nobody is applying for the advertised post. So a colleague and myself from EOTAS are supporting him but this is only temporary.

  The main issue is that he keeps opting out of lessons, he uses his chill out card to leave the lesson, sometimes he doesn't even bother to go into the class. He then wonders all over the large school. Any thoughts on how to get him back in? The heavy hand does not work................ The deputy 'discipline' person now knows this. 

  We have an agreement with his parents that any lessons he opts out of he has to make up the work at home, they are very supportive............................... Any other tried and tested strategies would be much appreciated.
