The speed cameras, in my community, were a cash grab. Hot take, I know. But the speed limit is 50, dips to 40, speed camera RIGHT THERE. but a sign saying heads up, would help. The one I’m thinking of, maybe a crossing light would be more suited.

I mean, my thoughts went to small pox and the intentional devastation of Indigenous communities and how anyone could be gleeful about owning those commercial rights. The Star, took another direction.

That’s so doable, thank you! These all seem to be very basic accommodations and they benefit everyone. I’ll be taking a critical look at my classroom environment to make these accommodations.
Thank you so much!

It sounds like the accommodations would benefit everyone - calmer, quieter, less frenzied environments. Space to decompress and retreat?
The stress creates its own stress, doesn’t it?
Okay, thank you, I appreciate this.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with me, and the Blue Sky community. High functioning is perhaps not a good term, is there a better one, without labelling or “grading” people?

Without prying, autistic burnout, is that from trying to conform to norms that don’t account for your needs and experienced reality?

Sorry that wasn’t my intention. I’m referring to parents, I was asking parents to speak on behalf of their children, not suggesting they should be expected to be ashamed at all.

I get that part, that autism is part of a spectrum. And your we could do so much more to accommodate diversity. That’s I can understand.

That’s fair if you’re high functioning with autism. What do parents of children with severe autism say? The kids who can’t use social media to argue their case - would they be as accepting of their situation?
