It is Autism Awareness today...

It is autism awareness day today and this clip is just a snippet of what our autistic students deal with every second of their lives.  The students of Room 15 are exceptionally considerate and supportive of Jaedyn and Mrs Johnson and I are extremely proud of them.



Some of our students wrote some poems, letters and stories.

Scared, overwhelmed, dumb, stupid, naughty

that may be what you think,

some of you look down at us like...outsiders,

Like a toddler stuck in a grown up body,

But really,

To me,

It’s physical pain, emotions, punching and kicking,

You can block noise,

But the same can't be said for us,

We listen,

We listen to every single thing that goes on around us,

Yes it scares us,we get overwhelmed,

But what the real cause is confusion,

We get confused at a lot of things,

On a daily basis,

So please, don't just turn away,

Help us,

And be our friends.
