My brother has autism. Special teachers help him at school. That's right, you've got the idea. So, you'd be feeling kind of 'manic,' happy. Jessica has to take about seven different kinds of medication and sometimes they don't work right because her body is still growing.
Doctors have to keep trying different things.
By the end of the session, Jessica has a group of friends who will join her for 'lunch bunch' in the special ed room and help her with her school work. She has a small salvation army of eight to nine girls who help her feel involved in school even though her illness isolates her. Her girlfriends come in from class to help her complete assignments. I am impressed with their profound friendship and acceptance. Jessica has a community here.
