FLARE program

I think our time at the FLARE program was interesting because I learned a lot about the needs of autistic people. I learned how the smallest change in their schedule can upset them because they need a routine to make sense of things. I learned that they are actually very intelligent but most people don't realize that because they never get to know them well. I learned that when they get uncomfortable they start "stimming" which can vary from rocking to groaning but usually it can be solved by some form of pressure. Overall I would say it was a very good experience.
