Reflection Paper On Autism

1373 Words6 Pages

What is Autism? Google told me Autism is, “a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.” On March 20 2018 I went with Mrs.Grove’s class to music to observe how the students do with integration. Mrs.Grove is a grade 4-8 teacher for the differently abled. I got to meet the kids and saw how wonderful they are. I joined 3 grade 5 boys and they were so sweet. Two sat with the class while one sat with his teacher. The boys were participating in class and with their groups once they split up. They are amazing kids who just want to come to school, learn, create relationships, and have fun. At the end of that experience I found out google was wrong. It makes it way to complicated. People with Autism are human beings. Their senses are just different. They might see a person walking slowly to their desk to them pacing around the classroom very fast. There senses aren’t heightened remember just different. Now a days we have google that tells us everything we need to know about people and things people may have. Google can’t tell you about a person with Autism. Everyone is different. Just because two people have Autism does not mean they are the same.Students that are differently abled need to be more integrated into school life because it lets the typical students learn so they can understand more, differently abled students don 't have much to do
