❤️❤️❤️❤️. As the mom of a microcephalic kid, I loved this. I am familiar with those bus rides and classrooms. ❗

This could be the incipit of a great movie. Always learning from your words. Thank youuu!

Never drove a bus, but have an autistic grandson. We can learn from almost anyone.

Thanks, I needed that! Certainly, a short story in the telling, though I'd call it a prose poem ... CX

These little stories do walk that line poem/fiction line, don’t they?

Okay, I love this! I teach a Unified P.E. class and this made me smile. I can totally see the kids jamming to AC/DC.

Thanks, Kelly! I love getting a teacher’s approval!

I imagine a lot of people in their 50s are having to (re)learn some routes these days. Why not sing some classic rock along the way?
