Autism ....

I am no Autism expert really. I don't have autistic children. I work with them. Many moons ago there was one autistic child who I was working with one to one. I worked the morning session. Now this child was very clever as autistic children are but  was very clever  and a bit naughty really. No throwing stuff around etc but in the minipulation  of the adults around them they were very very clever . The child played me up so I told them no reward, to which they  told me it didn't matter as they  would get their reward in the afternoon as it was a new session. So autistic  children are normal they can be naughty , and naughty for a reason just like a 'normal' child.

A funny title with a serious message. Its about my experiences with Autism. I work with on occasions Autistic kids ands its hard yet rewarding. I can at the end of the school day hand these children back and go home to my family. Autism is rewarding you have to open your heart to being accepting. It doesn't matter if you are different bit like evil ninja cat really. Hats off those to who have autistic children or those with varying disabilities. You might have seen my on twitter asking for donations for my school.  the autistic kids are a huge part behind it. We don't have a sensory room and we don't have a trim trail etc to promote their motor sensory skills.I don't claim to be a expert on autism but I have gained my experinace through working with these children. I shall continue doing what I can for those who have and work with autistic children.

This is what I wrote recently to one  care organization." I am proud to work in social care as a SEN ta with autistic children. A breakthrough came with one autistic boy. He had to do some counting from 1 to ten but does not always understand because of his autism. I sang 1,2,3 45 once i caught a fish alive and so on . Through this he was able to order the number 1-10 . He loved the singing. It was a very rewarding moment. And he has since gone on to saying little sentences."
