   my oldest son has AS and he loves art; art has helped him tremendously! It helps him to relax and express himself. I taught my son art myself, by teaching him the basics, taking him to museums, tapes, watching art programs. And my son painted the most beautiful look alike of Vincent VanGogh’s Starry Night!.

   here are some the sites that might help you: good luck!

   There is also using signed languages with children with autism. There has been great success reported.

   More at: http://www.babies-and-sign-language.com/autism.html

   And since you are in the UK, you would probably want to focus on british sign lanugage, which is at: http://www.babies-and-sign-language.com/british-sign-language.html

   Sign language opens up a communication channel that some people haven’t had the opportunity to explore. Yet another avenue for children with autism/aspergers to freely communication with much lessened frustration.

   Hope this helps as well.
