[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds very much like a child on the autism spectrum, if you didn’t know that already. One of my favorite students was a little boy just like this. You can take him to the public library and the librarian can help you. I am sure he would love a World Almanac or a copy of the CIA Factbook. [/quote]

NP here and teacher. Disagree 100%. Sounds like a cool kid to me! My brother was like this ad a kid with airline facts- still is, and so is his 11 year old son.[b] Both normal people[/b].[/quote]

Pp This attitude is very distressing. People with Autism are not abnormal!  They are different.  Also, people with Autism can also be cool and interesting!  Why would you think they are not capable?  I feel sorry for any student of yours who does have Autism because you are very biased against them.  My dd has Autism and I think what the pp wrote is spot on. But, I don't think of it as a deficit.  There are so many brilliant people with Autism starting with Greta Thunberg, Bill Gates and other historical figures who also might have had Autism Albert Einstein or Thomas Jefferson.

Think of this...if you lived in a community where everyone had autism than that would be the normal and YOU would be the abnormal.
