March 2009 Archives March 30, 2009 "There is nothing in our
research that in any way conveys a sense that children [with
autism] are any less human, any less deserving of our love and
respect, or any less of anything at all. It is that the way they
seem to learn about this world is rather different than the
strategies used by their peers. By better understanding how they
do this, the better we will be able to reach them, and like in
any personal relationship, the better they will be able to reach
us. ... Their different perspective might give us solutions that
others, with the typical mind and brain, might never see."This
is too true! Â Autistic children are not stupid because they
don't learn the same way other children do. Â They are not
creatures, subhuman beings that should be approached with fear.
Â They are people, just like everyone else, but people that
learn differently. Â It's more work to teach an autistic child,
but it's also a lot more fun! March 27, 2009 March 25, 2009 -
