My final year at school just started today. I know I have autism (I turn 21 in two weeks). I remember last school year I was unable to find a dance event for special needs people nor go to my school's prom (the last time I did go to a school dance event was back in 2015). Ignoring the 2016 event being poorly designed and the 2017 event making me cringe, the main reason why I never got a chance to be in a mainstream school's dance events: overwhelming (what with the noise and crowds), paired to not being free ($70 for a ticket sounded like highway robbery, but at least it was not over $100), and going with a neurotypical girl corrupts my well-being no matter what. At least at overnight camp, I can enjoy the dance events (despite the fact the 2016 event at camp was scrapped). Given that I live in North Carolina (in Buncombe County), I never knew why I couldn't find a special needs version. I am aware that I was unhappy with the administrator's decisions (I knew they had a job to do, but that was not the problem). Just my overall explanation. If anyone has something to say, go right ahead. |
