(421 posts)to all of us. During my long elementary teaching career, I was fortunate to have had quite a number of children with autism in my classes. Oh how we all benefited! I have so many special remembrances; Ill share one example: I had a prism window in my classroom that a parent had made for me. One morning, during math time, my little guy jumped up and started dancing around. The sun was shining through the prisms and reflecting rainbows all over the floor. He whispered, Im dancing in the rainbows. I joined him and asked, Would anybody else like to dance with us? Soon, all of the children were up dancing and laughing and carrying on. It was joyous and wonderful. Just think what we would all have missed had he not been a part of our classroom family. I always felt my children with autism or Downs syndrome or ADHD taught me so much more than I taught them. It is vile what ludicrous Drumpf and the RfK nightmare are spewing out from positions of power and horrifying that their minions will lap it up and spread it around. Thank you again, hunter, for speaking out. Youre inspiring! Be well! 😊🧡
