You don't just have to tell them what to do, you need to do it for them to see, to imitate those things. Moreover, not only one but many times, because they remember best what they see rather than what they hear. These activities should be constantly encouraged, because they will easily give up when there are small signs of frustration or annoyance on your part.
Children with autism do not play and interact with other children not because they "do not want to," but because they "do not know how to play with". They only understand games with fixed patterns and repetitive movements. Other children must invite children with autism to play with and understand their shortcomings, rather than expecting change and learning from day to day.
The empathy of society and the constant efforts of parents, family, friends and surroundings will help autistic people be better equipped and firmly grasped the reins of their lives.
