Austism Lecture

On Tuesday the 25th we had a speaker who told us all about having autism and stories about his son who had a very bad case of it. Denis Sexton knew pretty much everything there was to know about autism. His son John Sexton was dignoised in 1986. Denis discussed what signs people showed when they had autism.He said they have little or no speech,no eye contact when talking to a person, obsessive over certain things. For instance John obsessed for many years that every door or gate must be closed when opened. This would make every walk a huge task. Some say autistic people are the genious's of this world and without them we would still be living in a cave. It is said einsteain

They came to talk to us about the experience they had from when they went to Belerus to visit some of the chernobyl victims. They visited an orphanage and told us about the horrific condictions the children there lived in.
