Today in field experience we went in a little earlier to watch one student with a very mild form of autism. His autism is hardly noticeable and is a very bright kid. As smart as he is he is not very active. He is overweight and not very active in this class period. He has a teacher that watches over him but doesn't know how to help him out in physical education. He is given choices of activities to participate in but does not have any ambition to do anything. It does not help that he is the only one in his class and doesn't have any other student interaction. I would like to have seen him have some more direction in this class so that he can be more physically active. I will probably see him again in one of the upcoming sessions and hope to see more on his attitude in this class. Maybe their will be more of a guided instruction the next time I see him again.
