Today, we watched a video about Autism.  It was made by Hope Academy.  We learned that people with Autism struggle in three main areas:  Communication, Social Interaction, and Behavior.  Also, there is a spectrum for Autism.  Severe cases are referred to as "Classic Autism" and mild cases are classified as Asperger's. One in 50 children have Autism.  The number of children diagnosed with Autism is increasing quickly.  People with Autism may require more help, but they are some of the most fun and loving people.
