I found this info on the website of the National Education Association (NEA). It has a LOT of good info that parents should make sure their school district and teachers of your children have AND use.
From their website:
Guide Will Help Educators with 'Puzzle of Autism'
Across the country, the number of children diagnosed as having autism has increased substantially and many of these students are in general education classrooms. How can general education teachers and other education professionals address their complex communication, social and learning needs?
To assist educators in their daily work, NEA has produced a new resource in collaboration with the Autism Society of America, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and the National Association of School Psychologists.
"The Puzzle of Autism" is a succinct informational guide for all education personnel who work with students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The guide explains common autistic characteristics and suggests effective classroom strategies for improving the communication, sensory, social, and behavioral skills of children who have autism.
You can download a copy of "The Puzzle of Autism" .

It is good to hear your NEA are doing something about it.
This is a good document. It has been out for about 2 years now (has been revised since then)and is a nice tool, especially for educators who do not have alot of experience teaching children with autism.
