Research that benefits children and families

If I had the  means and knowledge to conduct research on any topic with no restrictions I would do research on the study of autistic children all over focusing on their behavior inside the classroom and developing techniques to improve their growth and learning. I feel like autistic children sometimes do not get treated or attended to specially for their needs. It takes a great deal of patience to work with and develop autistic children. I feel like there should be a specific person who targets and works for autistic children in all school and care facilities.  They require quite a bit more attention than a child who is not autistic.

I would fund for schools to have specially trained people focusing on the study and development of autistic children and work towards including them into society and feeling welcomed.  I recently saw a video on Facebook of this autistic child and his mother and grandma and she was upset that they were trying to not allow him to walk across the stage for his graduation. She was very vocal with the principal who tried to not let her child walk across the stage and she made a very valid statement that if you continue to treat children who are autistic as if they don't matter or are not included they will never grow or develop and advance to their fullest potential. You have to show care and love to them and not treat them as if they aren't as important because of their condition.

There are many different programs that can be invested in and developed to help autistic children and if I had the money with no limits I would definitely invest to make their lives better and help in their development. It saddens me to see people treat autistic children in such ways that only make them feel worse and I have seen it.
