MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS
\r\n4/27/2023
\r\nGood Morning, Wildcats, this is NAME and today is Thankful Thursday! Most people with autism are just like you when it comes to wanting friends. Some kids find it hard, while others don’t. One hurdle is that many people with autism struggle to make direct eye contact when having a conversation. Eye contact could be making them uncomfortable or making it hard to focus on the other person’s words. This lack of eye contact has people missing important facial expressions. Facial expressions say just as much as words! It doesn’t help that reading facial expressions and body language doesn’t usually come naturally to people with ASD. Your patience and understanding when chatting with a person with autism is kind and can help that person to practice their social skills. Today’s notable neurodivergent is environmental activist Greta Thunberg. At just 15 years old, Greta became famous for challenging Swedish Parliament to take action against the climate crisis. Take the challenge today and include someone that you normally wouldn’t. See you tomorrow as we start the weekend early with a Sensory-Friendly Pajama Friday!
