Many studies show that most core French students meet the objectives set for them. Speaking skills have sometimes been reported below expectations.

Autistic traits persist into adulthood, but with a wide range of outcomes. Some adults with ASD achieve college degrees and function independently.

Students whose parents have positive attitudes to French tend to do better in core French (Stern, Swain, McLean, Friedman, Harley & Lapkin, 1976; Pack, 1979; Ullmann, Geva & Mckay, 1985). They also develop a more positive attitude toward French and francophones (MacFarlane & Wesche, 1995). This means you can play an active role in your child's success with core French. Even if you don't speak French - or aren't confident in your rusty skills - you can help.

Others have the intellectual abilities to do the same jobs but are held back by their inability to adapt socially to the stresses of everyday life. The focus of every intervention program for the person with autism should be to work on helping them adapt to living in society. Their ability to function is far more important than how they do on an I.Q. test.

There are many volunteer opportunities at school.
