Social Group for Young Autistic Children
Class experience
This class is designed for autistic students by me, an autistic teacher, along with feedback from other autistics. I was undiagnosed until age 21 but I always knew I was different and didn't know why.

I am an autistic adult who has been working with autistic children and children with other disabilities for 13 years.

Some students may require supervision during our more active games such as freeze dance, Simon says, and other active games.
