As I read Out of My Mind I think about the decision-making process when Melody’s teachers let her be bullied right in front of them. Sharon Daper is the author of Out of My Mind.

Once when we were out, three kids showed up and started ganging up on her while I was getting out food. I saw what was happening and when I came back she acted like nothing happened. She had no idea what the other kids were doing to her, she thought they were just having “fun”. Autism just does not affect the kid with autism, it also impacts the families of those kids. The family has more pressure on them and is foreseen on to be a better family and keep a close eye on their child. I know from experience, I know some kids with autism and they all have struggles. When you have a kid with a disability it is a lot of work. You might have to spend more time at home, or buy special equipment for your kid. If your kid is like Melody, she/he can not speak. They might need to buy them a device to help them speak. Overall, it is not as easy as you might think when you have a disabled
