With my prior experience working with developmental disablities, I have learned alot about working with Autism. This was such a rewarding job experience. 2 of the most important things I learned was you respect them first. And with time and patience, they will respect you. The 2nd most thing I learned was…….they are smarter and brighter than most average adults. TRUE STORY! Just because they may not be able to speak your language, does not mean they do not understand. Give them a chance. You will be rewarded by doing so.
