Abstract

Autism is one disability that everyone has heard about. It is also the disability about which educators still know so little. This chapter will inform preservice teachers about autism using the narrative of two young men and their lives with autism. Theoretical groundings of autism, along with the myths, misperceptions, and mistakes surrounding autism are shared in the chapter. Importantly, for preservice teachers, strategies for successful teaching of students with autism will be outlined.
