RE: The Autism Spectrum is a Behavioral Meme, Not a Mental Disability

in #autism7 years ago

I was not very talkative either and couldn't hear or talk well until high school & college. I probably have autism. Different kinds of people learn & do things differently. I went on to be a camp counselor for five years. My life is an example of the hope they can have. Was born 1985 in Oregon and now I'm teaching in Vietnam. IT does take more patient to work with some kids but it is totally worth it.

probably not

I agree! Patience is key, and never giving up on a child even if they do pose some challenges

My uncle has autism but found love in music, he was able to get a job a record store and alphabetized the entire shore his first week there
