An Autistic Child Named Sergio

These past few months that I have been going to the day care, I have learned a lot about Sergio and his behavior. Everyday is a long day for him; he is at school for 5 hours and it affects his mood. He has become more grumpy and quite violent. Two weeks ago, he bit his teachers and everything got out of control. I know he does not mean to harm anyone and he only gets that way temporarily. Overall, he is a very polite and playful child. It kind of upsets me although that the kids push him aside because he's strange sometimes and refuses to play with them. I think they should try and make him feel more involved and that being involved is good. I know sometimes my mentor gets frustrated and it is a very difficult job; but I admire her patience and acceptance. Sergio is such a bright child and he really tries; I know it is hard to deal with his attitude sometimes but I believe it will all be worth it. This early intervention he is getting will benefit him in the long run. I'm not saying it will cure his autism because there is no cure; but it will improve his social and cognitive skills. Sadly, I could not provide a picture of Sergio to post because quite frankly that is illegal if not approved by the administration.
