In my practicum class today, my group and I discussed with our practicum teacher the idea of how Autism is increasing and as it is increases there will be an higher occurrence in our classrooms as teachers. So tonight when I was watching the news there was a segment on on Autism that caught my eye. It stated that in the United States there are 1 and 50 are diagnosed in the Autism spectrum. There is a higher percent of boys that have been diagnosed than girls which I think can be observed in our classrooms. The question at large for the doctors though is what is causing this increase and how do you get Autism. So a question I have as a teacher is how are we going to accommodate the increase of Autism in the classroom? I am unsure how to do it now but I think the answer can be found with more practice in the classroom. Below is the link to the news segment for you to watch. It is from KSTP Channel 5 News.
