A couple years ago, my first year teaching, I had a student who was on the Autistic spectrum and diagnosed with Aspergers. He was very intelligent and musically talented. He struggled socially and some days he would have a great day but most of the time he struggled and would either have a full on melt down yelling at other students and crying or disrupting class by saying odd comments or refusing to participate with the orchestra. He would come after school and work on his music with me but when it came to doing anything with a group or other students he really struggled with anxiety. Unfortunately he went to another school after one year at mine and I do not know how he has progressed since. |
