Autism affects 1-68 children across the United States. One of the challenges faced by these individuals is understanding and acquiring appropriate social skills. In this TEDxYouth talk, Emma Budde, Tommy Cole, Peyton Ernst, Andrew Kruger, and Elyse Schmidt will explain PEERspective, a high school curriculum which pairs high -functioning autistic students with their typical peers to explore communication and social skills. The respect and understanding that develops among the students is life changing and encourages all students to reach their highest potential.
