[LM_NET] TARGET: 70s or 80s story about a sister whose brother has autism

[Jennifer England <jengland@HERITAGEHALL.COM>]

Hi all,

 

The second grade has decided to make raising money for a local support group
for autistic children and their families their spring service project.  One
of the teachers remembers reading a story (probably written in the 80s, but
not necessarily) about an older sister who observes her brother's
experiences at a school just for autistic children.  In particular, the
teacher remembers a scene in which she is watching her brother through a
glass partition as he learns to button his own jacket.

 

Sound familiar?

 

Many thanks in advance!
