lacing up their trainers to

4
00:00:13,121 --> 00:00:18,081
money for an important charity.
For Stirling North pupil Peyton

5
00:00:18,081 --> 00:00:21,361
Boyle having autism can have
its challenges. It's like

6
00:00:21,361 --> 00:00:24,001
really hard for people to
communicate with other people

7
00:00:24,001 --> 00:00:28,961
and that stuff and like like I
know lots of kids who have

8
00:00:28,961 --> 00:00:32,621
autism have like really bad
problems of like meeting and

9
00:00:32,621 --> 00:00:37,181
like seeing other children. But
she has support. Hundreds of

10
00:00:37,181 --> 00:00:40,061
students are walking around one
of the school's ovals raising

11
00:00:40,061 --> 00:00:44,141
money for the War for Autism
Organisation. Um the Appointed

12
00:00:44,141 --> 00:00:48,061
Autism Inclusion Teacher at our
school. Um my role is to raise

13
00:00:48,061 --> 00:00:51,101
awareness and acceptance for
students with Autism. So I

14
00:00:51,101 --> 00:00:53,901
signed us up for the Walk for
Autism Challenge. Um twelve

15
00:00:53,901 --> 00:00:57,341
staff members have jumped on
board. An appreciation wall was

16
00:00:57,341 --> 00:01:00,761
also created showing facts
about autism. Had a few

17
00:01:00,761 --> 00:01:03,641
students say I have autism.
This is what it means for me.

18
00:01:03,641 --> 00:01:07,161
These are my challenges. Um
yeah the war was great. We've

19
00:01:07,161 --> 00:01:10,601
got some awesome facts. Our
librarian has done a great job

20
00:01:10,601 --> 00:01:14,121
at ordering some fantastic new
resources. The teachers have

21
00:01:14,121 --> 00:01:18,281
already raised almost $3000 and
counting. There is a saying

22
00:01:18,281 --> 00:01:21,321
that if you've met one person
with autism you've met one

23
00:01:21,321 --> 00:01:25,401
person with autism. As each
case is different. And as I too

24
00:01:25,401 --> 00:01:28,661
am on the spectrum having
occasions like this one show

25
00:01:28,661 --> 00:01:31,461
that there is support out
there. I feel really happy

26
00:01:31,461 --> 00:01:34,661
about it because like now
people know some facts about

27
00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:39,781
autism. Daniel Bazaro Seven
