I am qualified to help someone with Asperger's syndrome because I am also on the Autism spectrum. I have attended classes at the Texas State Center for Autism research and Evaluation for myself, and many meetings for Asperger's support group in Austin.

I am qualified to help someone with Autism because I studied Speech and Hearing for 2 semesters at the Univ.of Calif, Santa Barbara, and I am also on the Autism spectrum. I attended classes at the Texas State Center for Autism Research and Evaluation, and have attended meetings of the Greater Austin Autism Support Group for myself. I agree with Michelle Garcia Winner's book, "Thinking about You, Thinking About Me", and would use it for my teaching methods for Social Skills. I also know the importance of routines for Autistic people, so my methods would reflect that. It would be my pleasure to teach someone with Autism.
