Teacher's post on why her neurotypical classroom looks like a special education one goes viral

"But I have never encountered a single human being, of any age or neurotype, who doesn't thrive when treated like an autistic person. (I mean, of course, treated the way an autistic person OUGHT to be treated. With open communication, adaptive expectations, and respect for self-advocacy and self-regulation). "

Had a speculation once upon a time, several years ago... I may or may not posted it somewhere.

Not the exact words:

Quote:
If humanity finds a way to accommodate the entire autistic spectrum, then humanity can accommodate 99% of all humanity.


:lol:
May or may not need a refinement on that one.
