i work with children with severe autism. the one thing that i stress to anyone that i talk about this to is that FIRST they are children/people/adults. secondary to that they have Autism. so many times people focus on the bad - 'oh isn't is sad?' 'isn't it heartbreaking?' and forget to realize that these kids all have their own personalities, strengths, and things to struggle with that have nothing to do with their disability. heck, i have the biggest mix of divas, brown-nosers, mama's boys, bosses, and every other name under the sun in my class (you wouldn't believe what we have in the school). i love it! when given the right supports these kids (and really anyone with disabilities) can gain and move ahead so much. (i have a friend who i have this argument with all the time and i will not even tell you how much it frustrates me).
i always enjoyed
