Some data to support the importance of my last post - pulled from the below linked article:

“In the past, estimates were that 75 percent of children with autism were also intellectually delayed or impaired,” Silva said. “We know now and research backs up that 75 percent are normal or have close to normal intelligence. We truly believe as we work with every child that they are normal.”

This article supports the need for a Schools for Spectrum - now I just need to get moving!
