A typical lesson plan at a public U.S. school does not account for the time it would take for each student to ask 3 questions, and the teacher to answer them. 

(A 60-minute class with 20 students would mean only a minute total for each student to ask a question and for the teacher to answer it. And that's not even accounting for the actual lesson that prompts the questions!)

This system does a disservice to all students. Neurodivergent students may be even more affected, as they tend to have different questions than Neurotypical students, and can often feel as though their questions are not welcome. 

Asking with Autism is an organization dedicated to helping autistic students feel encouraged to ask questions - even when not in the classroom. We provide mentorship and connect students with experts in their field of interest.
