Working Schedules and Routines with Autism

- From: heatherbabes
- Name: Heather
- About Me: I am a writer about special needs kids at www.examiner.com/x-1560-Special-Needs-Kids-Examiner I have have Asperger's. I have a son Thomas, who also has Asperger's. My son Brandon has another form of autism called PDD/NOS. Brandon is more impacted by his autism than Thomas is in a visable way. Meaning, more people would recognize Brandon as being "autistic" than they would for Thomas. There is lots more to be said about me; however, this site is about autism and those who have it. So I will restrict the details about myself to that topic. :)
