Lesson 6- Kassidy Norman

This week we talked a little bit about Autism and how they seem to focus on one thing and it's usually an object. It was interesting to make that connection because I was a nanny for a 7 year old boy who had Autism and he was so fixated on roller coasters. Whenever I was over he would always ask me about different roller coasters I liked and amusement parks I had been to. He would always want to watch this documentary on roller coasters but his mom would always discourage it if he didn't have something done. It was like an incentive or reward to him if he accomplished something or played with his friends rather than isolating himself he was able to talk about roller coasters for 30 minutes and then got to watch the documentary later that night.
