| I have 3 HFA children, all with individual and very different training tales from each other. I’ve also had the pleasure of training children whose parents were told not to bother as “they’re too low functioning”! Yes, unbelievable! I put the following together quite a few years ago for a friend wh... |

| I'm 25 years old and just learned that I might've had, or still have, autism while growing up. I gotta say, it was a beautiful discovery. It brought me answers to questions I never thought to ask before, and those answers integrated with the rest of the knowledge I've acquired over the past 25 year... |

| As a teacher, I know that important information about kids, including their IEPs is often not shared with us in a timely manner. The beginning of the year is also hard, because even if we have the info, we have over 100 new kids and we have no idea who is who. All this to say, your teacher may not ... |

| I just started school this week. I have a mainstream English class and my teacher calls on me a lot. She calls on people even though they dont put their hands up. I'm also in the front row. There is a thing in my IEP about not calling on me. I dont think my teacher knows. I always answer the best I ... |

| Don't worry about your cousins. 1) They're inexperienced punks who try to torture and pick on someone who they know has a disability. Worse, a disabled family member. These are the types who grow up to be slugs, possibly facing time in prison. Don't worry about being left out by them. It's likely g... |

| I do get special treatment because of my autism. I get extra help at school and I don't have the same expectations at school. Also I don't have to do certain things such as presentations or certain exams. I get extra help in my daily life as well. My parents are also a bit overprotective. They don't... |

Sometimes teachers randomly choose me to answer a question and I blush, and respond but I usually mix up my words. I hate it. I lose sleep beca... |

I had a teacher who would do that and I felt that I had to do eye contact. I did but I felt really uncomfortable. I just look down ... |

I dislike going to the eye doctor because I feel uncomfortable during the part where I have to do eye contact and when I have to talk to them. I get scared. I wear glasses for reading. They are prescription |
