Autism and Education


I really agree with the Autism and Education article. Governments should really pay special attention to gifted and talented students as well as disabled students. Many gifted students can really learn skills to for an example prevent the next worldwide flu pandemic. They just need teachers who can teach them these skills and the money to help them. Disabled students need the help also, but if gifted students can help the world be a better place by solving life's biggest problems, then the government should realize this and help pay for them. This article is so good because the mother is a parent of both of these two types of children. She agrees totally with helping disabled children but also wants her daughter to learn more. I agree with this because she is really trying to help both of her children. She really emphasizes that gifted children do need to have more help so that they can become more intelligent and help the world. Her daughter needs the chance to become more intelligent than she already is. She is staying behind because she has to relearn everything. A student like this really should have a person next to them just like the disabled student because it would help them learn a lot more than they already are. The government needs to equalize the money between disabled children and gifted children. I feel like they pay attention more to the "No child left behind" than to think about children who are really smart and could help the world be a better place. Gifted children could really solve worldwide problems.
