I worked with special children when I was much younger. I worked at a school, and also for Easter Seals. The one thing that I learned from these kids, is that they have more love for everyone than the rest of us could give. It is wonderful your daughter works so much with him. Some children are forgotten and don't get the opportunity to learn. This would be wonderful if the college is still available to him when he's 18. Will keep you all in my prayers. Tell your daughter she is doing a wonderful job.

So cool! I have taught many Autistic students. I also had an foster son for three years that had aspburgers(high functioning Autism.)
Sometimes his reasoning skills were unique. One rainy day he got wet on the way to school. At recess the teachers kept telling him to stay out of the water, later I got a phone call and he had to stay in for some recesses. When he got home I asked him what was up with that. He said he was already wet so he didn't need to stay out of the water. He was totally serious, that is what he really thought. He was sooo mad at the teacher that made him stay in. |
Have you heard of Temple Grandin? She has a great book; Emergence: Labelled Autistic. Her mother also wrote a book; A Thorn in My Pocket.
Temple is an interesting person and speaker. She's a professor at the Univeristy of Colorado. Patricia |

We had a huge meeting at school today and several times someone had to point out to the teacher, does she think Stephen realizes that you can't make comments about people, do you think Stephen KNOWS what to do in social situations? The answer was no, I'm hoping by the end of it she's caught on! |
