People with disabilities can't do anything. That's not true. Look at all of this. Eh, mind. Hi, my name's Tyson and this is my story today. My brother and I used to go to a public school. We loved going there and doing both of our schoolwork. One day we were at home relaxing when our mum came in and told us we'd gone to have to move to a new house and a new school in Brisbane. In 2019, my brother and I started at our new school. We made a lot of new friends and getting some awesome work done. We both really enjoy here and never been happier. I really like that we get a lot of extra support as I'm diagnosed with high-flexion autism. One of my favourite things is sport with my friends. I was even allowed to bring a fed dog thing for a visit to our classroom. I would love to have my first job in an ice cream shop. And when I leave school, I think I'll really enjoy a job that involves listening to people and helping them. At 6am on June 20, 1837, Princess Victoria was woken from her bed and informed that her uncle, King William IV, had suffered a heart attack and died during that night. It was less than a month after Princess Victoria turned 18, and so Princess Victoria was a queen at the age of 18. It's part and parcel of me to make all the art. I definitely like it when I extend my work out to all people what I want to teach. Right in front of me, as I work out in my room, I do it each day. I always feel you open me. I always feel like I am maybe my own other equal. www.circlelineartschool.com
