Elementary students notice the adults in their school and some peers do not receive the unique abilities of exceptional needs children. Stanley is a little misunderstood, and fellow student Alayna notices that Stanley is not being treated fairly by peers or teachers. She educates her classmates and teachers on the beauty of autism and stimming. Through the lens of children, we discover what it means to be neurodiverse and remove the mystery of what it means to be included, seen, and heard. Stop it, Stanley! provides a conversation starter for anyone in the educational field who would like an example of explaining atypical behavior and finding ways to include all in the conversation about inclusion and equity for exceptional needs children.
