My Name is Michael: An Autistic Student Explains Autism
This video was part of a class project in which students were asked to tell a story. Michael wanted to convey to his classmates what his life is like as a person with autism, and with the help of one of his teachers, John Lozano, he used images and video to tell his story, an effort that took almost seven months. Michael decided the kinds of pictures and footage and directed Mr. Lozano how it should come together.
The music in this video is “untitled,” by Kina Grannis. It isn’t that the song has no title; “untitled” is its name, and is from one of her first albums. Mr. Lozano would sometimes play Grannis’s songs during class, and Michael felt that though the song has no lyrics, the melody was able to help tell his story.
Next Vista for Learning sends Kina Grannis a big thank-you for allowing “untitled” to be used in this video. Learn more about Grannis and her music at: www.kinagrannis.com

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
