Autism School | Do You Think It's A Good Thing? Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

Is an autism school better than a one to one in a mainstream school? I’m discussing all that and more. So autism schools are part of the SEN schools and special educational needs programs. The question that a lot of people have is what is best for your child is going to an autism school for a distich children better than having a one-to-one tutor in a mainstream school who understands autism spectrum disorder. There are varying levels of support needs of people on the autism spectrum you could have high or low support needs this to me he would justify the difference in what level of schooling your child in need. I think that all autism schools and one-to-one tutors are necessary and are both good but you have to define which one is needed at which time in your life. Every SEN school or autism school will try its best to have the student or pupil get to a level where they can access mainstream schooling in a mainstream school with additional support. So that being said I guess mainstream schools are the goal but autism schools are the bridge to get there and sometimes the schooling that the specific person with an autism spectrum condition actually needs at that time.

People on the autism spectrum have a difficulty with connecting to and relating their emotional issues to the outside world. The thinking process of not being able to see the grey area in thought process and only seeing in black-and-white causes some distress and emotional distress at times. I for one have experienced this first-hand issue with not being able to communicate my emotions and only seeing in black or white. That being said I do believe that restricted thinking of emotional communication like thinking in only black-and-white can help with some critical decision-making and can be a good thing at certain times.
