Hello
My name is Sara I am currently a high school student who is planning on getting my college degree in Early Childhood education- Special Education and I want to work specifically with Autistic and Down Syndrom children. I am also currently tutoring a 14 year old Aspeger Syndrom(spelling??) boy. I am also planning to build a school for both autistic and downs children. I currently have the first floor floor plan. For some children it would be a live in school and for others it would be just like any other school just with highly specialized teachers and staff. I would appreciate any information that would help me further understand these children. Many people have asked why I want to work with autistic children. I had to think about it because I actually had no idea why, it was like a calling. However, when I was little my best friend's little brother was different than the other kids, he had autism. After his diagnosis his family up and moved out of state. I never understood why because I saw his as a normal little boy who just did not talk. Now that I am older I can sort of understand why they moved, out of shame. But I do not think that parents should have to go hide just because their children are different. This is perhaps why I feel drawn to this specific disorder. Thank you for any input. My email is Texas13579@aol.com.
