Do your teachers know you have asperger's? Mine don't!

Post Reply New Topic

Almost all my teachers know that I have Asperger's syndrome.
It was my parents who told it.

All of my teachers know because at my school we are graded for eye contact when we give presentations. Also even though i don't have an IEP most of my teachers will let me out of class for a while if I go into sensory-overload. And they don't mind if i sit on the floor sometimes. I usually go see the resource room teacher just to talk if i get really stressed. i also got special accommodations for the PLAN test and i will get special accommodations for the ACT and SAT.

I disagree with your username.

All of my teachers know that I've received an informal diagnosis of AS and that I am currently going through the diagnostic process for AS.

For the most part, they don't (at college level) until I tell them in conversation. My high school teachers did know though because I was on an IEP for my Aspergers.

They did. It didn't do a measure of good though seeing as how they were all apparently incapable of dealing with students who didn't fit the status quo -.- .

All my teachers know and I get treated like a little baby.

My teachers don't really care I have Asperger's. I don't want them to treat me like I am really stupid, so I don't tell them.

all my teachers know most guessed some i told like i never told my Veterinary Science teacher but a few days ago she approached me saying that the next day we were gonna watch a video she thought i would appreciate called Temple Grandin and how Temple used her Aspergers to revolutionize the cattle industry and i gotta write a 2 page essay on it so im relating my Aspergers to hers in my essay but other teachers like my welding teacher he guessed cuz i been his student for 3 years and Aspergers aint exactly subtle but i had to tell my Floral Design and AP English teachers

I told two of my teachers a week ago. At the time I thought it was a good idea, I'm going to see how this plays out. They will more than likely treat me like I'm stupid damn it

mine do because my grandma went and told all of my teachers when i was diagnosed.

Well, I actually need "special help" so, yeah, they do. Most think I have HFA rather than PDD-NOS though.

Um, yes. Unfortunately. Because I have an "IEP."
I'm not in any special education classes, though, and I don't need the help. I don't know why I still have an IEP.

When I was in school, the teachers were supposed to have been told, but weren't. One of many failures on that school's part.

No, but they do know that I prefer to work by myself. It doesn't really matter because I'm one of the best students in every class anyway. A few teachers in the past have given me problems, but I just ignored them and taught myself. I'm glad I did, I wouldn't have learned anything in those classes.

My High School ones did but I think my Art Teacher didn't think that one of the things I do is related so I got told to shut up...he was a nice guy though...he only got frustrated rather then angry at rebellious pupils.
