From Jo Rudy, your Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorders

Children in general - and children with autism included - can rise to meet high expectations. It's up to the adults in their lives to provide both those expectations, along with the encouragement, support, cheers and coaching they need to achieve. When we set the bar too low, we may do our children a real disservice.

For Children with Autism, Don't Set the Bar Too Low

Even for kids with autism, appropriately high expectations can make a positive difference.
