How would Autistic children in a class effect my daughter ?

[mummyloveslucy]

Hi, I'm concidering a primary school with a specialist unit attached for children with autism. They are in the regular classes as much as possible and they play with the other children at play times.
I just wondered how it would affect teaching for the rest of the class? I know that autistic children need a lot of support and attention, bless them and could be disruptive. I also worry about supervision in the playground, as I know form experience of working with autistic adults that they can become violent and be unpredictable.
I want my daughter to grow up having an understanding and tollerence to all sorts of people, but I do think I'd worry about her as she is very tactile and very sensitive. She is also very easily disrupted.

I am curious as to whether top bitch read more than the first two pages ?
I think the thread has been pretty civilised snce the first few postings...
and quite informative to anyone who read the whole thing.

But then that would require actually reading before you post something knee jerk/totally out of date/off topic/ has been posted two minutes ago etc etc.

And that too would be the end of MN

I haven’t RTFT because I’m so angry about your first post that I can’t think straight. I did think you were a troll, because nobody could possibly seriously think like this. But the suggestion that you’re genuine is even worse. I should try to educate you, but you are disgusting and I’m not a big enough person to try to reason with you.

@ArosAdraDrosDolig thread is 12 years old and really not worthy of a rehash.

Blimey thank you. It wasn’t me who resurrected it though so thanks for telling me it was a zombie. I can see that some people responded helpfully though.

Hopefully it will rebury itself now
