Did you have a great time when you were in high school? Some people think that it was the highlight of their lives, and others think that it was a terrible experience. In my experience, my high school days were nothing special. I can't even remember much of it. I guess I didn't have any memorable experiences when I was in high school.

Working with parents and educators for over a decade has taught me some important lessons about what it means to provide a meaningful Education to students with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. It is easy to get bogged down in the moment-to-moment challenges and lose perspective on what we are trying to accomplish. Too often we employ strategies that address an immediate problem, without figuring out how to build the foundations that are required for addressing the challenge over the long-term. In searching for the elusive "quick fix" we fail to implement some basic but powerful concepts that support learning for all students. Here are 12 important concepts every parent and professional should consider when designing appropriate Educational opportunities for students with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders:

The western world is obsessed with relationship but we are poorly equipped to do it well. Parents and children need Education about the future of marriage and the constant change in the way that we relate that is in store for the future.
I recently asked a 46 year old man what importance his marriage has in his life, expressed as a percentage. His instant response was 80%, on the grounds that his marriage impacts and is impacted by his work and almost every other aspect of life. I then asked him how much Education about relationship he received at school, from his parents or in the army (his first job). His equally instant answer was 'None at all'.

I started the day yesterday with a very inspiring article about Gretchen Wilson. It was funny actually, because I never usually read or listen to anything at the gym. I like to talk with people there. But when I got to my machine to do some cardio, this magazine was there. And I opened it at the right page to find this article.
Now, if you are not from the United States, or if you are not into country music, you might not know who Gretchen Wilson is. I am not particularly into that kind of music but one of my friends is a big fan, so I knew the name and a couple of songs. Gretchen Wilson is really pretty big on the Country Music scene.

"A Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back America's Brightest Students" – this is a report that was written by Nicholas Colangelo, Susan G. Assouline and Miraca U.M. Gross, and The Templeton National Report on Acceleration.
This report was widely published in 8 languages.
In this report, the authors talk about the bright children, the children who read early, who love to learn. They talk about the change that happens when these children start school.
These children are bored in kindergarten, frustrated in first grade, and even though they hope that something will change, the keep presenting a "problem" to their teachers.
