Advice and a Question

[Guest guest]

Good evening all! I need some advice from you wonderful Autism

experts out there!

I have been given the opportunity to sort of teach at the local

police academy to the new recruits going through training about how

to handle a child with special needs if ever called to the school or

any other place for that matter. And also how to handle situations if

a child with special needs goes missing. I was told if I could get

together a lesson plan then I could probably present it at various

times throughout the academy's training periods. I have a lot of

thoughts running through my head and need to organize them. But I

know there are probably a lot of areas I am forgetting. So I was

wondering what would you want the police force to know about these

situations? What specific info do you think I should include in this?

Any advice is appreciated!

Also a question, might seem rather dumb. But I have not gone this

route before. Someone has mentioned about Josh seeing a

psychiatrist/psychologist. Does he need a referral from his regular

doctor to do this? I imagined so, but am not sure. Like I said we've

never seen one or tried so I was wondering if that would be the

proper route to go first?

Thanks in advance to anyone who got this far and can point me in the

right direction!
