  • Just saying thank you for all the kind words I've received! This seems to be generally kind community and I'm glad to have found it. Thank you for the advice if you gave it as well, everyone here has been wonderful!
    People at school seem to think the non-verbal kids in the autism program don't understand words that are spoken to them. They do, quite a few of them UNDERSTAND English words, they just can't speak. Even if they couldn't understand, the stuff these kids say is so infuriating to hear.

    Some non-verbals do understand; some do not. (There are two major types of mutism.) Those that have the former eventually find alternative means for communication and their severity level gets downgraded.

    I hear you, AdriansTired. I work with people who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. They're frequently misperceived by staff and really treated to a double standard, behavior-wise. But, generally they're pretty interesting, observant people. They don't get due credit for their intelligence.
