Caring Encounters
Gunn, Alyson
Phi Delta Kappan, v94 n4 p21-23 Dec 2012
Children with autism may seem to not care about things or have the same range of emotions as those of us who see them and care for them. But they do have empathy and they can be taught how to communicate it, says the author, a teacher of children with autism. We simply need to listen to them, watch them, and be with them in their moment.
