I have been wanting to work with autistic kids since my current age, 13. I want to teach special ed., but specifically work with autistic kids.

As a mom with an autistic child i would say you need alot of patiance. Understand that these kids and adults have such a focuse on there particular interst that they can have an area that they can excell in insuch a wonderful way that it is exciting. Yet to try to get them to learn other things can be extremlly hard and close to impossible

Do some research on your own. You can probably volunteer if you find a local program for children with autism. But if you are looking for practical experience, my best advice at your age is to find a family to babysit for. (Are you in Utah? I am always looking lol) Anyway you can learn a lot about autism from parents and those who care for children with autism. Just remember autism is a spectrum disorder, so every child can be quite different.

I would recommend volunteering at local schools/ programs. There are several different methods for intervention but first you need to observe in the field. Contact local autism networks - they will tell u about local programs.I work with autistic children from birth to age 5 -
