2026 CSTA PK12 COMPUTER SCIENCE STANDARDS

Greetings, 

I am Shanna Bohrer and I teach CS and AI virtually in Alabama. My goal is to educate people on how autism presents differently in females. I hope to change the approach to include instructions for bottom-up processors who do not extract much information when we learn because we like ALL the details. I hope to show people autistics do not have problems communicating with other bottom-up type thinkers. We literally say exactly what we mean most times. I hope to move education from compliance/extraction based to creativity/solution driven activities that support all people in my community.

myShanna!!!!! Your article was AMAZING! I hope that more people read it. I think that all educators, especially those who have students with autism, should learn from your words of wisdom!
