Next next year he has to go to middle school. He is assigned to Southwest Middle School. He is currently behind in reading by 2 yeard and math almost three years. The school he is in this year mainstreamed him in with other 6th graders and he switchs class and he is just not handling it very well.

Name: Linda Riviello Category: OTHER City: Harrisburg State: NC Date: 12/27/2009 2:03:48 PM Feedback: 0 Super Senses Hello All, I need to get this amazing book out to everyone who knows someone, cares for someone, neighbor, family member, school teachers, etc. Written and illustrated by a 12 yr old about the challenges and rewards with living with autism/Aspergers. Attachment here about Dyllan Rafail MEET DYLLAN RAFAIL AUTHOR OF SUPER SENSES It all started with the Young Authors program that Van Buren Public Schools (Belleville, MI) sponsors every year. All the 4th graders in the District are assigned to write and illustrate a story. The best stories are collected and the authors are invited to an all-day workshop where they learn how to be better writers and meet a published author. Dyllan began the writing process and it wasn’t easy. Dyllan persevered until it was exactly the way he envisioned it. The results were amazing. After you read his book you can believe they are “super senses.” Throughout the publishing process, Dyllan wasn’t thinking about whether the book will make money or that he will get attention as a young author. His plan was to make copies and leave them in doctor’s offices for people to read. “I want others to know there is a family that feels better because they understand autism.” Student, parent, grandparent, sibling, relative, neighbor, educator or friend, this is one book you need to read!
