charnelle’s Answer

That is awesome that you won’t to work with children with autism. It is challenging at times so be prepared. You don’t necessarily need a degree but if you are seeking to sociology, psychology, and special education.

You can be a couple of things to work with kids with autism to be a
-Teachers aide meaning aiding the students in school
-Registered behavioral technician some places you need a Hs diploma or a bachlor’s depending on where your working you also need a RBT certification so you have to do a 40 hr training

BCBA you need to get a masters in it you can work in the schools, supervise RBts.

Also you can get a degree in special education or speech pathology. You can get a master in PT or OT. You can do a lot with children with autism you can also work on curriculum and IEPs.
Best of luck on your journey!
