Good Pre-School TV Shows for Autism

Post Reply New Topic

I kinda prefer the expertise of other people on the spectrum than the experts who half heartedly observe us, so I'm bringing it here. I'd like to know if you guys have noticed good shows for pre-school and kids that you think would help someone like you learn the aspects of the social world that you just didn't get instinctively.

So far, I've found Ni Hao Kai-Lan to be good with the idea of helping kids connect emotionally. http://www.nickjr.com/ni-hao-kai-lan/

Anybody got any other shows they think is good for stuff like that? Oh, and opinions on these shows are invited.

Thank you.

Do they still air Mr. Rogers?

Wonder Pets. The focus is on friendship and teamwork. It's also nice because the episodes are predictable and follow a format. If they deviate, the Wonder Pets acknowledge it. My son is an animal freak which is part of the reason he watches it, but I think it's a really friendly show for him.

Sesamee Street was a really good show, in my opinion. The show teaches letters, numbers, shapes and colours. It also teaches social skills, and acceptance of individual differences. The show also teaches about life skills and different cultures.
