My 17-year old son once described himself as an "outcast of outcasts" after he was rejected (in junior high) by a group of boys in his Asperger's social skills group.

Now he is a senior and was selected as a character mentor for a group of grade 6 boys. After his first session today, he was positively glowing. He said, "Dad, they really look up to me!"

Nice

Alright!!

My son (he's 9) is experiencing a problem with another child in his class who has a different level of high functioning autism. This other boy has more social setbacks but doesn't want to be seen anywhere near my son because he was mainstreamed from a special ed class. This other boy was "always mainstreamed" said his ditz bag mother. This boy must be about 13 years old because the ditz bag declined special ed about a half-dozen times so they kept on making him repeat the grades. Ya see, my child is "special needs" but her son is not...
One time I heard the neighborhood psycho say, "Everybody needs a good beatin' once in a while". I thought it was such a mean thing to say but I finally understand what that lunatic meant.

Yikes!

That's lesson .01 in how not to put your child's success above your own ego needs.
