Last night, in class we had an amazing speaker, Marry Mim. Marry is a lady in her fifties who is autistic. She was so insightful and inspiring. The thing that struck me as most outstanding was her ability to always be self evaluating and adjusting. All people can learn from that. We all need to be checking in with ourselves making sure we are succeeding to the best of our abilities. When something happens in life you have to look at what role you played. Was that the best I could do? Will I do it differently next time? Children with disabilities need to be taught how to be like this. They need to be taught how to look at themselves, evaluate how things are going and then make adjustments. They need to know that they have the potential to succeed. They need to get to know themselves, their strengths and their weaknesses. When I am a teacher I want to spend time having the kids get to know themselves. They need to know about their disability and how it affects them. They need to find out about other people with same disability. They need to see people who have disabilities and are successful.
