DEALING WITH AUTISM - A Random Entry
Jun. 4th, 2012 10:28 amThere's always good and bad. Amusement, frustration, uncompromising love and extreme exhaustion all play their parts.
Sean complained recently that he feels too confined in his special education class. He wants more freedom. Instead of being cooped up in the small fenced-in yard the special needs kids play in, he wants to play in the 'big' yard with the regular kids at recess and before and after school. He wants to make friends with kids he can talk to, who will respond, talk to him in return, run and play and do all those 'kid' things. He'd like to be fully integrated with the regular students his own age.
So I feel that THAT is his motivation, since I have been puzzling for awhile over just how I was going to explain to him just what it is that makes him 'different' and how to work on overcoming it.
