| Just heard that aspergers is going to be dropped from DSM and be merged with autism. Psych at Marcus Austism Center in ATL GA told me that aspergers is going to be dropped, but didn't say is going to be merged with autism. If anything, they should all be seperated as much as possible. Most people, w... |

| Thanks everyone for your replies. I can't remember if I said that this school year she is in a very small private school (22 students) and it is a GREAT placement for her. But, since we haven't gotten help YET (still working on it) we didn't know that she would be so upset, have anxiety, etc even th... |

| Homeschooling would have been great in our situation IF these things didn't happen. I hate public schools. Everyone says they need to be there to 'socialize', to learn the 'real world' but being in 4 walls all day with same age kids who are mean, etc is NOT socialization to me. It is NOT the real wo... |
