I'm actually a teacher. You'd think teachers would be more educated. Lots of the teachers seem to have a low tolerance for kids on the spectrum. I've heard all sorts of stuff including kids being labeled as 'austism brats' and 'not right in the head'. Its rather sickening and sad.
Good news I found a decent paying job as a coach for kids on the austism specturn. I'm hopeful, with personal knowledge and being able to overcome some things myself, that I'll be a good fit. Perhaps more accepted as well.
I just applied tonight. So we will see...
