Talking to peers about your child?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone spoken in their child's classroom to the students about (known

as autism in school terms)? My son just entered kindergarten last month and

every time I volunteer in his classroom I am discouraged. He seems to be a

different child in the class versus at home-less engaging and limited speech

within the classroom.

I have asked the teacher if she wants me to speak about and autism and

haven't gotten a solid answer from her (although I haven't pressed either).

I don't know if the kids are too young to " get it " and be more patient with

(or if they care). Do any of you have experience or words of wisdom to

share?

Thank you,
