Life has kept me busy and ill the past few days, but I finally got my chance to do further research on autism tonight. I guess I am curious about autism because I am finding it to be a challenge to actually put myself in the shoes of a mother who has to learn it.
Today I was thinking about how kids who have autism are as unique in their own rights as children who do not. We are all created equal and different, thankfully. I certainly don't like the idea of a world where everyone would be a clone! But when I hear about someone who has an even bigger challenge getting through life, like autism, my tendency (sorry Moms) is to think on a general scale rather than an individual one. I suppose, unfortunately, I have stereotyped. My apologies.
Because of the differences in children with autism, I wondered about the educational process. It seems one of the ways to help a child with autism can be with games. The gaming/educational industry has discovered much value in learning through games. I found some sites that feature games of all sorts, and I hope to pass on something useful for anyone who may have found it a challenge to gather the right games for their child.
