Over the course of the quarter, I learned so much about different resources for Autism that I did not know were out there. I believe that I will be a better teacher (an aunt) because of the things that I have learned. It is interesting to look back on all of the things that were brought to my attention, and how now, when people come up and talk to me about autism I can say "oh yeah! I read about that!". It's a powerful tool to be informed and connected.
So I leave you with two resources-
A website from the NEA for teachers which has an abundance of websites, phone numbers, and other information if you ever need information about autism: http://www.nea.org/home/15151.htm
And http://www.autismweb.com/. A website devoted to helping parents understand their children's autism.
Both of these cover much of what I have discussed on here, just very condensed. They are good things to know!
