What should I do for my Gold Award for Girl Scouts? :)?

Umm....write a report about kids with autism and relate it to school somehow. Maybe go present it to different elementary schools? Like how they act differently and not to bully them and so on.

My daughter is learning disabled. Because she could not read or write very well, illustrations and photos were very important in her education. When it came to her Gold Award project, she wanted to do something that would help others learn through visual images rather than words. She decided to work with a local museum to document every day life in our town through photographs so historians in the future would have a complete picture of this time period. She organized groups of volunteers to take pictures of every significant building in town, plus hundreds of shots of people doing everyday things like working, playing, going to school, etc. They took about 3,000 photos that she then organized into an exhibition at the museum and later archived both physically and digitally.

Perhaps you could do something like that to record the lives of children with autism in your community. Many people don't have a clear idea of what autism is. Photography is a wonderful way to introduce people with autism as individuals with unique and complex personalities. Perhaps you could enlist the aid of other teens who have siblings with autism, or even some adults with autism, to create an exhibition, slide show, or booklet that shows what you think is important for the community to know about living with the various forms of autism.
