@digicoled Did you feel prepared to teach them at the beginning of their time in your class? What additional support would you have liked? #UKEdChat

@UKEdSch There are such a collection of 'conditions' that fall under the #Autism umbrella - Difficult for teachers to deal with? #ukedchat

@ukedchat I've taught students mostly at the higher functioning level, asperger's too. I've always got on well with them.

@ukedchat No, not at all. Very unpredictable behaviours & I feared for the safety of classmates & disruption 2 learning, if I'm being honest #UKEdChat

@ukedchat Trouble is, even just asperger's can display in loads of different ways. We all share traits but can be very dissimilar. #ukedchat

@ukedchat So each autistic child will have very specific different needs. The ultimate challenge for differentiation.

@commaficionado @ukedchat We're all unique #UKEdChat and people will be very different. Accepting the 'condition' by everyone is a main progression step.

@digicoled @ukedchat The pupils are the reason I go to work every day! There are definitely easier ways to earn a few pounds. Something to smile about every day.

@digicoled @ukedchat Yes, accepting its existence, its traits, it's effect on people is really important. A lot of misinformation around.

@ukedchat #UKEdChat A2. Very little. Uni training was minimal (just so much content to cover), although we did visit a 'special school' for a day!

@ukedchat A2 #ukedchat not much. An hour or so with senco. My own research has been far more useful.

@UKEdSch I've noticed the version where social interaction is difficult + the child may have be focused on one thing e.g. drawing #UKEdChat

@commaficionado @ukedchat Very much so. There was a compelling BBC2 documentary celebrating Asperger's the other week with Chris Packham #ukedchat

@ukedchat The sensory stuff, and how we Aspies can get overwhelmed by detail and not see the big picture. This is crucial in teaching English!
