How does Autism affect a child's ability to learn while in a class with students who are not disabled? That was the main question I researched and wanted to know the answer to but unfortunately I didn't find much information on it. I did find that autism affects the child's ability to communicate with other people, including other children. I also found that autism does affect the child's reading, math, and writing ability but that can change. Most schools do test on autistic children and say they are below the level they should be at but they aren't doing anything to fix it and also most of them time they are wrong. It is proven that autistic children who have been IQ tested scored higher than the schools said they would so basically the school doesn't have a clue what they are talking about. In my opinion some autistic children could benefit by being in a class with children who not disabled because that could help them talk to other children easier and maybe even learn better but also could not be good for other autistic children because the learning enviroment is different.
