Autistic Children
Monday, November 3rd, 2008When, a few years later, I got involved with an autistic children’s charity, I wasn’t quite prepared for what I was about to see. The child I used to tutor had a pretty good life as far as things went. She had a caring and supportive family, and great prospects for the future. It turns out that this is far from universal among autistic children. Most of them receive inadequate care, many of them have trouble developing even the most basic skills, and so the future is often bleak. The schools tend to provide as little support as they are legally required to, so some of the most disadvantage autistic children out there are routinely left out by the system.
