Week #4

The most important relevant and impressive for me, this week, was a moment when the teacher asked me to support some students (from different years: 3th and 4th) to develop an exam at the library.
One of those students was Samuel. He is an autist student aand of course, he needs a special treatment and more accompany.
Foor my surprise, Samuel is a very smart student but as a tipical diagnosis of autism, he needs so precise instructions, on the contrary, he is going to get so confused and exasperated... and that happened this day.
The exam was, obviously, in English and for Samuel it is too hard to think "outside the box", everything turns difficult nd almost impossible. So, he was asking all the time: "No! How an I going to do this?, how am I going to be successful with this?" and so on.
There was a moment when he got so mad that he started to cry out so loud and to do some "weird" movements with his body. At that moment I tried to remember some strategies I had learn at a previous course and to apply them. I asked him to keep calm and I started to explain step by step what he had to do. Even he was still crying and yellng  but trying by hard, he could finosh th exam.
