Written By Layla: “this is about Tomas jefferson...he doesn’t want to share because hes unfair. Hes very unfair and I dont like his hair. He’s a hippy hypocrete an he’s always thinking like a fish.”

We are doing an imaginative inquiry curriculum. We are working together to convince a library board not to name a new library after Thomas Jefferson. We are in the process of coming to a decision amongst ourselves about who we want to propose the library be named after instead! We have been reading books this week by and about black freedom fighters such as Martin Luther King Jr, , Shirley Chisholm and bell hooks. Stay tuned, more coming soon!”

Autism affects an estimated 1 in 54 children annually, according to 2020 data released by the US Centers for Disease Prevention and Control. This number represents a 10% increase over 2014, when the estimate was 1 in 59.

Generally, it is seen as a different way of thinking.

If we picture people as computers, autistic individuals have one-of-a-kind operating systems that enable them to process life and experience the world differently from the rest of the human population.

Researchers know relatively little about the condition that is considered the fastest-growing developmental disability. They know on average that autistic brains are larger and that they "prune," or shed, excess neurons more slowly than neurotypical brains.

Scientists also have identified that autism affects linkages between the parts of the brain that govern emotions, sensory input and executive functioning. -
