This wikispace was created to become more educated on the diagnoses, identification and effects on teaching children with Autism. It is extremely important as an educator to understand all aspects of Autism so you do not make assumptions on children with Autism or children who may be autistic.The assumption is often made that children with an exceptionality cannot behave or function in a regular classroom, but with inclusive education as the new goal, it is crucial for educators to take the time to become informed about Autism, as well as other exceptionalities, so they are able to set up all students for success in the learning environment! As educators we have to be more thoughtful and more educated and more informed. That is the purpose of this Wiki.

On this Wiki you will find:
 * Assumptions About Autism
 * Description of Autism
 * Information on Identification
 * Implications for Teaching and Learning
 * Instructional Strategies
 * Organizations and Contacts (Mostly local)
 * Learning From Those We Label
 * Teacher Resources
