The teachers at the school (FACE) have experience with autistic students. Rosario credits the students and staff for helping her 4-year-old Louis say his first words. The school director Tiffiany Lassin says the school has an extensive wait list. "A lot of our students come from other schools and they don't get made fun of here," Lassin said. "Normally there's that shyness. In reality they don't want to be left alone but that's what happens because they don't fit in." FACE is one of four schools in the state for students with autism, but that's changing soon. FACE officials hope to open another school in Pasco in the fall to help cut down on the Tampa site's wait list.
