Children with autism are incredibly unique and, in my opinion, they bless everyone around them with a new perspective on life. Of course having a child with autism can be extremely challenging.Although I have not dealt with this first hand, I have seen what these parents can face on a daily basis. This is because I am friends with a few families who have autistic children and also know a student that I got to know during my internship who holds a special place in my heart. It really changes your life and grants you with a better understanding and love for these children.

Liz,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are able to lend some personal perspective to your inquiry. As you implied, it is a lot different to actually experience the types of issues that arise with children with autism than it is to merely read about it. As you continue your inquiry, think about your personal experiences with these individuals and how they are similar (or different) from what you have read. Also, consider the vastly different faces that autism can display and how the accommodations that might work for some certainly won't work for all. Keep up the good work.
