A light has gone out in the autism community. I had the opportunity to meet Ms. Tameika Meadows, BCBA three years ago when I was visiting Atlanta.

It is time we acknowledged – or learned – how young all children unfold the intelligences they were born with. Be warned, it looks nothing at all like school, it looks like child led free play. For many of us that means we will have to really upskill on child development, and then match the child's unfolding development.
