I want YOU to share your BLUE crafts, home decor projects, outfits, manicures, recipes... you name it! I'd also love to read stories about how autism has touched your life. Feel free to link up older posts as long as they fit the theme. All I ask is that you include the button or a text link back to this post so that more bloggers can join the effort.
As an inclusion teacher, I work with students with autism every day, and the biggest thing I want others to know is that no two people with autism are the same. There's no one definition of autism. The DSM-5 classifies a spectrum instead of defining a specific diagnosis. As a teacher, most of the students I work with on the spectrum have Asperger syndrome. These children do not exhibit serious cognitive or linguistic delays; many are in fact extremely bright. Many have an area of interest in which they are "specialists," be it Navy ships or Japanese manga comic books. The kids on the spectrum with whom I have worked have helped me learn to be a more compassionate, more patient, teacher, and I love seeing my general education student include students with Autism and Asperger's in their work groups, in their games and activities, and in their social circles.
