School Leadership 2.0

I've experienced different levels of autism in education, and some can function in the classroom better than others.

Cannot respond. Would need in-depth experience and global research to be able to respond accurately.

Profound autism requires special care and highly trained personnel within a well-planned environment.

As a seasoned teacher, I found it easier to first plan for a child when the DSM had distinguishable categories. As a college teacher, preparing future teachers, I also find it easier to share techniques, including distinguishable categories.

The word spectrum implies that there are varying levels of Autism. People present with different qualities of Autism to varying degrees. This has always been the case, and schools need to provide support based on the students' level of need.

Due to the range of Autism, students attending public school should be able to get the care they need based on their needs.

I'm a school administrator for children with autism. Spectrum is a deliberate choice that describes a BROAD array of genetic features that cause problems with social communication & interaction. A dual diagnosis is better than splintering it

I agree, but I don't know how this will help the teachers on a daily basis.
