Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an autistic adult who has been working with autistic children for over 5 years. I have my associate's degree in special education and am passionate about teaching children about autism and how to support their autistic peers. Every autistic person is different so it is important to add that aside from my own experience as an autistic adult I have worked with over 500 autistic children (ages 2-18), both in-person and online, all of whom are in different places on the spectrum and have unique strengths and challenges.
