AUTISM: Teens with autism mentor youngsters

From the CEC Smart Brief:

The University of Washington's Autism Center is assigning teens with autism to serve as assistant teachers for young children both with and without disabilities. Pat Waterston, aunt of a 15-year-old boy with autism, says her nephew's experiences at the university's Experimental Education Unit have helped him grow in confidence and independence.
