[senco-forum] pupil with autism

I am Special, as far as I remember is for teenagers

I had a year 6 boy last year who was/is aspergers and needed self awareness 
about his condition. We had advice from our asd specialist and a book was 
recommended - with a social story - but I cannot remember the title. Will 
ask my asd TA today and get back to you. (I have a yr 4 boy who is now at 
that stage and we are reviewing his targets today)
