I Strongly Recommend That Students With Autism

I Am Much Less Autistic Now, Compared To When I Was Young. I Remember Some Behaviors Like Picking Carpet Fuzz And Watching Spinning Plates For Hours. I Didn't Want To Be Touched. I Couldn't Shut Out Background Noise. I Didn't Talk Until I Was About 4 Years Old. I Screamed. I Hummed. But As I Grew Up, I Improved.

As You May Know, Some Of The Stereotyped Behaviors Exhibited By Autistic Children Are Also Found In Zoo Animals Who Are Raised In A Barren Environment.

A Treatment Method Or An Educational Method That Will Work For One Child May Not Work For Another Child. The One Common Denominator For All Of The Young Children Is That Early Intervention Does Work, And It Seems To Improve The Prognosis.

You Have Got To Keep Autistic Children Engaged With The World. You Cannot Let Them Tune Out.

What Would Happen If The Autism Gene Was Eliminated From The Gene Pool? You Would Have A Bunch Of People Standing Around In A Cave, Chatting And Socializing And Not Getting Anything Done.
