Is there something you’ve read about people with autism that was particularly influential for you that you wish every teacher should read?

Expert answer

I’m kind of in an unusual situation in that I have a lot of friends on the spectrum. And I think that the books that have been most helpful for me are the books that are written by people like Temple Grandin, Liane Holliday Willey, and Stephen Shore — those are the books that have been helpful for me. Because I don’t have autism and am trying to determine what is most beneficial for people with autism — to do that without asking them to me seems disrespectful and not a good idea. So I would recommend reading some of these autobiographies.
