Reflection paragraph on findings

While researching I really didn't find an answer to my main question; How does Autism affect a child's ability to learn while in a class with students who are not disabled? What I found most important for parents of children are the symptoms of autism so they know what to look for in their children to see if they might have autism. What I found most important for myself is how to help and control children with autism because I have a younger brother that has autism and at times he can get out of control to a point where no one can do anything. What I found most surpirsing is that one in every 110 children are born with autism each year and that number is rising every year. Questions I still have about my topic are: How does having autism affect the child's ability to learn while in a class with other children who are not autistic? Are the teachers able to handle the children? What do the teachers do when the children act out? How do the children who are not disabled act towards the ones who are? Is the enviroment different in special ed classroom rather than a regular classroom? Are the teachers being put in classrooms with special children even certified to teach them? I still want answers to those questions because I couldn't find an answer and I feel strong about them. Now, after researching, I feel more like an expert on my topic. Before this project, I really didn't know anything about autism except for what I learned while around my little brother but after doing the research, I have found so much useful information.
