Peer Coaching, helping out with disabled kids Options

[angelrevelation]

So, I signed up for Peer coaching. I basically kind of just help out with the disabled kids at my school, who all have some sort of autism. They're taken around on walks, and the higher functioning ones have little tasks to do around the school and such. I hope to gain more experience working and taking care of people, since I want to be a doctor when I grow up.

I'm worried about handling the scolding and everything though. I've never been good with little kids, and these ones are kind of similar to that. Any advice?

I'm not sure if this goes in School or not.

yes! It seperates people, puts everyone in little catergories. Honestly, it's just a pet peeve of mine, nothing I feel like arguing about. Whenever I use it I put quotes around it.

"Normal" is just relative.

It's "normal" for me to sit in the car for 8 hours every weekend to visit my dad. It's "normal" for me to write one page of notes out five times until it's perfect. It's "normal" for me to go through a book a day when I'm on a reading spree.

But for other people "normal" is something completely different.

"Normal" for me is someone autistic. A "normal" day at the mall is my 16 year old 6 ft autistic brother throwing a tantrum in the middle of the game store.

Again, "normal" is just relative.
