Autism

The other day a new student with Autism came to school just to get somewhat familiar with the building before he officially starts. The school has green lines in the hallway for the children to walk on (their way of maintaining order, I guess). The teacher told him to walk on the green line, which he did happily until he got to a place where a table was over the green line. He looked at it, got on his hands and knees and crawled along the green line. The teacher (who is WONDERFUL) gently told him that if something is on the green line, he can walk around it. I thought this was just too cute for words. These kids are so precious.

I agree - too cute. He wanted to follow the rules! Excellent problem solving on his part - really.
