Today, we're going to embark on a colorful journey to learn more about autism and how it helps us see the world in different ways. Just as each of us has unique favorite colors, every person with autism has their own special way of experiencing life.
To kick off our lesson, I want you all to think about your favorite color. Take a moment to close your eyes and picture it in your mind. Is it a bright sunny yellow? A cool calming blue? Perhaps it's a rich, deep red?
Now, let’s make some colorful connections! I have a large piece of white paper and a variety of colored markers. Each of you will have a chance to pick your favorite color and draw a small circle on the paper. This is not just any ordinary circle—it's a representation of YOU and your unique personality!
Once everyone has added their color, we'll take a moment to step back and look at our beautiful, colorful paper. Each circle signifies how unique we are. Just as the colors come together to create a wonderful masterpiece, our differences, including those of individuals on the autism spectrum, contribute to the rich tapestry of our community.
Now that we’ve illustrated our individuality, we’ll dive deeper into what autism means, understanding that each person has their own story and way of seeing the world. Remember, just like our colorful circles, every experience is valid, and together, we can build an inclusive classroom.
Let’s get started!
