Response 11/12

I believe, from personal experiences, a little of every thing stated in the questions occur.  In my elementary school I remember one particular student that had autism and how he affected the whole class everyday.  There were many uplifting moments for him and the classmates while he was in the class especially on a social level.  I watched him go from not wanting absolutely anything to do with the other classmates to gradually become more social with them.  On the classmates aspect I observed some that where annoyed and wanted him out of the class.  On the other hand there were several that were open to helping him and the teacher in any way they could with him, like me.  Yet there were moments like him getting so frustrated with everything that he would throw a fit and at some points would start, literally, banging his head off the desk or even storming around in a crying fit.  It was at these points in time that it became disruptive to all including him.  As the years went on into to high school and I would see him around, it seemed that those experiences for him and my other peers turned out to be for the good.  He seemed to have less stress from a regular classroom setting with other peers and he did not get frustrated.
