Hi! My name´s Gustavo and I´m from Argentina. I´ve been an esl teacher for 6 years and through all of these years I´ve had some students in my classroom with autism and asperger disorder. I was wondering if you know where I can find a book or resources online to work with these students in the classroom. They are primary school children ages from 9 to 12. I thought about making my own material but as I know little about the subject I rather make a research of what´s out there to have as a model to start with. If you have autistic students I would like you to share your experience with me. 

 Thanks... 

Hi Gustavo, this might be a good start:

Dear Gustavo,

How about teaching English through Drama?

There is one lady : Susan Hillyard . She also lives in Argentina and she has a great experience of teaching English through Drama to the children with Down syndrome and other difficulties. She has great results at her work. She �s a mine of information and knowledge ;-) .

Why don �t you google her name and email her for some advice?

 She also teaches different online courses . 

 Good luck,

Ewelina
