Reflecting on last week's assembly

[Jenny]

Reflecting on last week's assembly: Mr. Knazek and Joshua, a student from Year 10 of The International School of Penang (Uplands) shared powerful insights on the importance of using words wisely and speaking kindly, while raising awareness about autism.

They shed light on the challenges individuals with autism face—repetitive habits, struggles expressing feelings, and navigating social situations. Yet, they emphasized the incredible traits individuals with autism possess—determination, passion, and unique problem-solving abilities. Let's remember, autism is a spectrum, and figures like Elon Musk and Albert Einstein remind us of its diverse manifestations.

Let's continue to foster understanding and embrace the strengths of every individual.

지난주 회의에서 자폐에 대한 이야기를 나눴습니다.  10학년 학생인 Joshua가 어떤 언어를 사용해야 하는지 언어의 중요성에 대해서도 얘기했답니다.
