There is still a lot of learn about Autism. I had no idea that individuals who are diagnosed with Autism are more likely to have a genetic disorder, gastrointenstinal disorder, and/or seizure disorders. 

The strategies that were provided seemed very easy to implement. Many of the stragtegies were strategies that could benefit other students as well, not just students with PTSD or TBI's. 

This section provided very useful information about how to provide accomidations for students with PTSD. Being in a high school, these students would most likely have an IEP, but at the college level they would not have an IEP, but still some sort of accomidation. 

I have learned a lot about the different types of PTSD onset. It is important to get to know your student that has PTSD to make sure that you are helping to make their life easier instead of adding additional stress to their life. TBI's are caused by trauma to the brain. I wonder how many TBI's go unnoticed within high school football and how that can lead to Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). 

I knew adults could be diagnosed with PTSD, but I had no idea about how many children get diagnosed. I found it interesting that 26% of children in the US will experience a traumatic event before the age of 4. By experiencing a traumatic event, these children are 76% more likely to have a delay in their development. Not every child that has been through a traumatic exerpience will be diagnosed with PTSD, but it was insane how many young children experience such traumatic experiences.
