I myself am graduating in a few days and I completely agree on the “beginning” idea. Shortly after graduating I will begin my work as an IA for children on the spectrum and I cannot tell you how great it is to see a blog such as this. The information you post has been helping me understand even more of this incredible field that lies ahead for me. Thank you for so much food for thought Kristina.

I myself have a “commencement” ceremony in a couple of weeks to graduate high school. I thought it was a bit strange, but now that I think of it it really isn’t. I may be ending high school but I am starting adulthood, and hopefully in a few months will be on my way to independence. Fortunately, the college’s disability support offices seem really helpful, and I think that will make the transition easier than if I had gone to, say, MIT straight from high school.
