another student came out to me as autistic today <3 i love collecting autistics especially as a teacher it’s like, i am going to make sure you have such a great time here. this is going to be a place free of annoyances. free of pretending. free of judgment or arbitrary rules. we are going to move forward together at your own pace, with however many tools we can dig up. you will never have to be scared or stressed out here <3

#one of my students (woman in her 40s) started the year out by being so anxious about our lessons she was practically shaking #and now (one mutual autism coming out and many reassuring words later) she is so excited about them she texts me just to let me know #that’s she’s happy to see me soon #and it’s like. 😭❤️😄🥰🤗‼️💕#rain.stuff #this is literally why i teach this has been my dream since i was a kid #i remember being 8 and thinking when i grow up i’m gonna be a teacher and i’m gonna be so nice to the students who are different #or can’t learn as fast #or whoever feels weird or left out #and i’m gonna love them so much #well look at me now!!!#i do love them so much!
