Require neurodiversity education for children in schools

I would like children to be educated on how autism feels for autistic children. I think it would create a level of understanding on why children with autism might be (for example) stimming in the corner of the classroom.

I think if we can change how children view special needs we can change the world
That’s why if we educated the children within the classroom it might elevate some of the stress on the teacher, the children and the autistic person who may be struggling without state funded support.

We think we should be educating from the beginning and ‘normalising’ neurodiversity from the outset!
