Inclusion of Children with Autism The inclusion of children with learning disabilities into normal classrooms has proved to exhibit both positive and negative effects on children with and without disabilities. However, the negative aspects of inclusion have not proven a strong enough point in that the good, which comes from this experience, severely outweighs any doubt of its success.

When I was young and in school autism was something that I didn’t really think about. The closest I got to knowing someone with autism was watching Rain Man. But in 2007 I started to listen more about autism. I was 24 years old and I was pregnant with my first child.

Boys tend to have a higher occurrence of autism than girls: four out of every five people with autism are male (Straus et al,. 2004). Autism affects the development of the brain. These effects seem to appear in early brain development. Although, the most obvious signs tend to emerge between 2 and 3 years of age (Autism Speak), at 15 to 18 months parents first notice loss of skills or delays in development (Straus

Autism: Educational Social Effects      As a student living with no impairing physical or mental disability, it is difficult to imagine life any other way. On the other hand, when taking the time to contemplate what people with disabilities, such as Autism have to cope with, I realize just how much I take for granted in every day life; such as options to any class, learning at a normal pace, and peer interactions, to name a few.

When it comes to the Autism/Asperger spectrum it is an interesting disorder to learn and understand. As I had the opportunity to work with all range of children that have been diagnosed with Autism/Asperger, it is the students that have been recently diagnosed with Autism/Asperger that is interesting to learn about.

One in sixty-eight children in the United States are entering this world with Autistic Spectrum Disorder today, a thirty percent increase from the one in eighty eight percent two years ago. This disease is unquestionably one of the worst and most confusing disabilities out there. So, despite all of the exquisitely diverse
