Like the previous poster, I am both a "professional" and the parent of a child on the spectrum. My teenaged son has AS. I am a special education aide, working on my MA so that I can become a special education teacher. And I'm not 100% normal myself. :) Although I do not have autism, I have a number ...

When I was in high school, I NEEEEEEDED a quiet place to escape the other kids. Usually, I'd spend lunch in the library, but one school I went to had a big, rather busy library, so I'd spend lunch locked in a bathroom stall.

I pulled Kyle out of the 4th grade, and did school-at-home him for the last four years. It has been a frustrating, wonderful experience. Homeschooling turned our withdrawn, suicidal kid into a happy one. He also went from a 1st grade reading level to a 3rd grade reading level in just one year. For u...

Hi! You sound really, really frustrated! I hope that I can help you a little. I do not have Asperger's, but my 14 year old son does, and he inherited a lot of his AS traits from me. :) Without seeing the actions myself, I can't be sure, but here is what I interperate based on your description of the...
