Autism
in Mainstream Schools
Back in December, our nation was shaken to the core over
the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. According to Aurélie Paré, writer of “Do
you know what ‘autism’ is?” it turns out Adam Lanza, the man responsible for
the shooting, had a form of autism. My point is not to say because he is
autistic that is why the shooting happened, but maybe the incident occurred
because of how his years in grade school were handled. No one knows what his
experience in school was like, if he socialized with other kids his own age, or
if he was even in school with other children. For autistic children, it is
important for them to be in mainstream schools and be included with all the
other children. In order for autistic children to get the best education
possible, school boards need to come up with special classes or programs that
will be beneficial for the children, parents, and teachers.
