What was fascinating for me about his autobiography is how different we are in most ways (I have very mild Asperger's and numbers are a complete mystery to me), but alike in a few very subtle ways in areas that seldom come up for discussion.CS McClellan/Catanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528100633458181090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934299368484652017.post-83616257677712759052008-11-19T19:23:00.000-08:002008-11-19T19:23:00.000-08:00I'm 51 and just learned I have AS (which greatly e...I'm 51 and just learned I have AS (which greatly explains my social difficulties throughout life).

I work with MR/DD adults (mentally retarded & developmentally disabled) and we would SO get arrested for any kind of physical assault of the kind described in your post!<BR/><BR/>Speaking as the mother of a child whose 2nd grade teacher "wrote him off" when she found out that he has ADD, I hope Tim Miller's mistreatment, and the perpetrator's thereof, is/are brought to justice! <BR/><BR/>Two weeks before the end of his 2nd grade year, our 8 year old was surrounded by 4 classmates on the playground, had his pants pulled down 3 times in front of 3 classes of boys and girls and the 3 teacher/observers "didn't see anything". The 4 classmates admitted their actions. The school did not call us until the end of the day, and the classmates remained in school due to mandated state testing ... so they received NO punishment. We complained to the district. The principal threatened us for "going over her head" and then called CPS on us in retaliation, saying that our son had "exposed himself" on the playground!<BR/><BR/>We homeschool now.

In my last years at a local high school,we went from one lock down room, to four. The program changed dramatically. I don't agree with the restraint approach because it escalates the agitation. Those of us that deal with autism know that it can be very exhausting!BarbaraRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295966272158694195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934299368484652017.post-38155120068820895962008-08-10T16:52:00.000-07:002008-08-10T16:52:00.000-07:00Very neat...

My niece suffers from autism and retardation and would never be able to do this tremendous effort, as she doesn't speak and is not able to perform many normal tasks, but the water and swimming have always made her feel calm and brought her joy.
