Obsessive interests had to be overcome, eye contact was insisted upon, communication had to fit certain standards, etc. But what if we centered the entire learning experience around the unique strengths of children with autism? Research has shown that this disorder often comes with excellent memory, developed visual thinking, attention to detail, honesty, and other valuable skills.
The strengths-based approach can remove the stigma that plagues people on the autistic spectrum and shine a light on their diverse talents and capabilities. By identifying their specialized interests and unique abilities, it can optimize learning and, in many cases, carve a path of professional exploration and development.
