We have autism all wrong: The radical new approach we need to understand and treat it

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

12. Through my 20 yrs of teaching, there were so many

workshops meant to get us to use trendy new ways to teach. Some made sense, either for some or most students, but many seemed ill-advised, for instance the group math fiasco you described.

I was open-minded about learning new techniques, but a lot of the in-service days were just there because they were contracted. There was like an industry of people offering workshops, of
ten of dubious value.

We had loads of noise & fun & laughter in my classroom, too. Even with my Aspie issues loved teaching, except for the increasing problems with clueless administrators & belligerent parents.

I really miss getting to know a new group of fascinating personalities each year!

Nice chatting with you.
