Being A Teacher

Elizabeth M.
over 1 year ago

Can Autistic people be school teachers? I have been struggling with the sensory processing in the classroom, along with just being an unprepared teacher (due to never teaching before, nor having any teaching training). I am trying to consider if this is something to pursue or not. I know the first year is tough for every teacher even the neurotypical. SO how much am I overreacting to being burn out and just becoming numb inside. Thank you

    Hi, I teach primary school part time at the minute as full time was too much for me.

    I would say that you can be autistic and teach, but it may be the case that you need to put your own personal strategies in place to help with the day to day overstimulation/burn out. But like others have said, you may find it easier working with certain ages over others. Are you training to be a teacher at the moment?
