"Mainstreamed" Education

Children with autism or related diagnosis should be given the appropriate education. Sometimes this means that they should be mainstreamed if their diagnosis isn't actually all that bad. It really all matters in the diagnosis itself. If given the correct and accurate diagnosis a child with autism can be put in the same classes as everybody else but only if parents, doctors and sometimes the kids themselves feel they can handle it. Other times for kids with more severe autism need to be placed in appropriate classrooms, there is no question to that. If the child needs these slower paced classroom settings then at least have teachers and providers that can do a great job at giving a great education. From the teachers perspective they might have to make certain accommodations for autistic kids, but don't they have to make certain accommodations for non-autistic kids as well? Teachers will have it rough no matter what so that's why it has to be accurate diagnosing to not make it all that much harder for the teacher to do their job. I think with kids who are mainstreamed and have the education that most receive they could gain insight with having an autistic kid in the classroom. Hopefully giving insight will gain empathy and a better understanding of the disorder. Not everybody is the same and maybe seeing it in the natural light empathy can be gained from the experience of having an autistic kid learning along with you.
