Amazing Mechanical Table, c.1750

Now if only we could get a capable push for all autistic students. So many bright minds wasted and destroyed by the desolate plane of public schooling.

You can tell anything to a 2 years old. They don't give a shit. :P

How do I get an autistic kid?

A common misconception is that all people with autism have these kinds of talents. Sure, Some do, But after 10 years of working with them i have met 2.

There are several issues with the treatment of autistic kids. There is still a huge percentage of psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, teachers, etc. who believe that all autistic children have low IQs and should be steered into institutions or special education with a view to pushing the child into a low-paying, simple job.

Another issue is ABA. This type of therapy often frustrates autistics who are bright but have difficulty communicating. Autism Speaks is a big supporter of this therapy, despite it being shown to help very few autistics.

Another issue is that it's very common for educators to jump on the latest bandwagon and attempt to apply the latest and greatest to autistic students.

So, actually, there's on big issue: every autistic is different, just like us.
