This is an important thing to share to ASD kids and young adults. We Aspies trust new ppl more easily, and pride ourselves of being very direct and honest. It's not easy for us to say things other than what it is, and our need to explain things at length just make it worse. NTs might perceive us as 'know-it-all' or even arrogant. We need to teach our ASD kids some 'tricks' on how to recognize social cues so they can make friends with the right ppl.
Activities for Wemberly Worried
We love these fun activities for the book Wemberly Worried. Actually, we love author Kevin Henkes and all his relatable characters... Lilly, Owen, Chrysanthemum, and, of course, Wemberly. Most kids can find themselves in at least one of his stories, if not more. Making your own worry dolls is a fun way to follow up the read-aloud, but traditional worry dolls are small and a little challenging for tiny hands to make. We love this chunkier version that uses pipe cleaners and pony beads. Come see!
