A couple days ago, I was lucky enough to go to a presentation by Dr Temple Grandin about how to support children with autism through to adulthood. Dr. Grandin is herself a person with autism and as many things I have read by or about her, nothing compared to hearing her speak about herself and her experiences. I feel like I learned more very simple things to do for young children with autism in the 60 minutes I heard her speak than I have alearned in seven years of teaching and three years of graduate school! I am so glad I got to go!
