    2. People with autism have problems with abstract and conceptual thinking. Some may eventually acquire abstract skills, but others never will. When abstract concepts must be used, use visual cues, such as drawings or written words, to augment the abstract idea. Avoid asking vague questions such as, "Why did you do that?" Instead, say, "I did not like it when you slammed your book down when I said it was time for gym. Next time put the book down gently, and tell me that you are angry. Were you showing me that you did not want to go to gym, or that you did not want to stop reading?" Avoid asking essay-type questions.

    Occupational therapy plays a huge part in the treatment of Autism. Teachers and parents often work together with occupational therapists to often evaluate the performance of different tasks through out the day and set specific goals for the child. These may include how he or she behaves in public, or interacts with others, or performs in the classroom, or all of the above. Therapists are often called in to evaluate a child doing everyday activities to determine what care is needed. The therapist can then develop a program unique to the individual. These specific strategies can help the child improve skills in various situations. (Webmd.com, 2014)

    In the recent years, there has been an increase with the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2007), 1 in 150 children are said to be autistic and according to many states ASD is seen as an epidemic. The problem with these numbers is how to teach these children affectively in the best academic environment. In 2005-2006 it was reported that 31% of autistic students were placed in general education classrooms and around 40% in separate classes, typically referred as autistic support classrooms (U.S. Department of Education, 2007). Characteristically, the student will be placed in an autistic support (AS) room because the general education room is not the least restricted environment for that child.
