Currently, I teach 11 4th and 5th grade autistic students in a small town in South Carolina. They range in ability from one who is in gifted and talented to several who are profoundly disabled. Three have no speech but rely on sign language or assistive technology in order to communicate. I have three girls and seven boys. They are all a delight, but keep me on my toes! Our school serves PK-5th grades and currently has an enrollment of around 780. This school is the most loving and caring environment for the autisic students to be housed. Our school serves the autistic population within the city limits, so the students are exposed to many children who are much less fortunate than they are. This has developed a culture of caring and compassion. Rarely, if ever, are any of the children teased or ridiculed for their disability. Every year at graduation I cry when the student body gives a standing ovation to my students as they cross the stage.
