Many do not understand why Autistic children need to receive different education than other children. This understanding is wrong because Autistic children learn at a different rate than the average child. Autistic children have the right to attend a proper school that will benefit them with their learning. Even if there are schools specially built for Autistic children, they are built far away from the homes of Autistic children families. These children have the right to get an proper education just like any other childe attending school.

The acted passed “was designed to protect the rights of students with disabilities by ensuring that everyone receives a free appropriate public education” (IDEA). This act was passed to insure that disabled children will be able to attend public school for free. Having this acted passed made it easier for Autistic children to be able to attend school closer to home. Autistic children being able to attend schools that are free and also close to home is great.

    Kristine shares in her book, “Michael and I were sending Jake to school to learn. But his teachers-the people responsible for his education- were telling me they didn’t think he could be taught” (56). I do not understand how an educator would deny education to anyone regardless of their situation. The educational system shouldn’t let this happen; there should be rules that allow student who are autistic to learn in the same environment as other without making them feel as if they’re incapable of learning and making their parents believe that there is no hope. If things like this continue, then autistic kids will have no chance.…

    Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) is characterised by impairments in communication and socialisation, alongside repetitive and stereotyped behaviours (Association Psychiatric Association, 2013). Differences in risk of ASC are associated with socioeconomic disparities, whereby ASC tends to be overrepresented in high socioeconomic status (SES) families. Early clinical (Cox et al., 1975; Finnegan et al., 1979; Hoshino et al., 1982; McCarthy et al., 1979) and population-based studies (Bhasin & Schendel, 2007; Durkin et al. 2010; Lotter, 1967; Treffert, 1970; Williams et al., 2008) have reported positive associations between ASC and SES, measured by parental education, occupation or income.

    “It’s okay, I know that he just listens differently than I do,” said a second grade child as he read to a student in my classroom who had Autism. The student with Autism was jumping up and down and playing with a small toy next to the boy reading to him. If the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) had not been passed these two students most likely would not have attended the same school. That second grade child would not be able to learn and interact with students who were significantly different than he was. His views of the world might be narrower and he might grow up not understanding that just because someone acted differently, did not mean that he/…

    The person whom I had chosen to interview with is a woman who has three daughters diagnosed with autism. Her name is “Dana Reeds,” and her daughters (beginning with the oldest to the youngest) are named “Priscilla,” age twelve, “Tina,” age eleven, and “Leslie,” age eight. Dana has four other children who don’t have a disability, and all of them go to school. This mother was the first option in my head to be the perfect example for the interview. I am related to her, and knowing she is an easy-going person, I knew she wouldn’t mind if I asked a few questions on the daughters who have autism.…
