The number one way to get through to a student that has Autism?

1. The number one way to get a student to trust you or to get a student to converse with you is to find out what that student is interested in.  If you show a common interest with a student that has Autism, this will make the student want to talk to you.  This will show the student that you care enough to have a common interest in something that is important to them and you are not just concerned about math and English.  This trust will go a long way in building any relationship with a child that has Autism.
