[quote=Anonymous]He just probably cannot answer due to ASD. He likely may be comprehending but expressing himself is probably very hard. I would limit it to 2 questions as it may feel like you are bombarding him with questions otherwise. My son with ASD could not answer those questions then either. You may want to show him pictures in a book about preschool and point and ask very specific questions like look at the kids on the playground here...did you go outside and play on the playground? Look at the kids eating fruit. What did you have for snack today? Also, give him lots of time to answer. Sometimes, my son would answer literally an hour later to a question - and would then make no sense. For example, I might ask what did you have for snack? He wouldn't answer, and then what seemed like randomly right before his nap, he would say pretzels! And in fact, when I asked the teacher (because we were keeping a food diary), she would confirm pretzels. Now at age 10, he tells me all about his day and wants to hear about mine too. We stopped speech therapy a couple of years ago.[/quote]
