I remember a couple kids in my school when I was young and would be 99% sure in hindsight that they were autistic, but of course it wasn't recognised in the early 70's as it is now. I wonder often what happened to them. They were so like Amy in many ways.<br /><br />CJ xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563136033538910586.post-30372843808964591682011-03-07T11:39:24.432+02:002011-03-07T11:39:24.432+02:00I don't really remember.

He didn't stick out much except he was very neat and organised so it wasn't so obvious. <br />He was a lovely kid. This was 10 years ago and I wonder what happened to him. Also to a couple of others with issues. . .but still sweet kids.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136899816714134128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563136033538910586.post-75432631634043728002011-03-07T10:00:55.286+02:002011-03-07T10:00:55.286+02:00Indeed they are...

How did the rest of the class respond to that kid's comment? What a sweet sounding child.Sandrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229404784641370601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563136033538910586.post-44118159929158052632011-03-07T07:51:51.186+02:002011-03-07T07:51:51.186+02:00Ah. . .school can be so hit and miss for the stude...Ah. . .school can be so hit and miss for the students, can't it?<br />I had one boy in my class who was autistic and just didn't "get" jokes. The rest of hte class had asked if we could do something fun in class today. So I replied in an outraged, yet clearly joking, voice, "Fun? Fun? No, we never do anything fun in English. It's not going to happen."<br />So my little autistic kid pipes up in my defense,<br />"Oh, Ms Josie yeah we do sometimes do fun stuff."<br />So sweet. <br />http://josiespeaksup.blogspot.com/Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136899816714134128noreply@blogger.com
