Hi there! Welcome to the Online Community! You should have a look at our Learning Disabilities and Autism page to find people who might be able to answer your questions.  https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/learning-disabilities-and-autism

remember that a lot depends on each individual child. you may get one who needs visual prompts and another who just can't do eye contact but can hold a conversation with you
