News Article in our Local Paper

[Guest guest]

I am so angry at our school that I could just scream. I just read

an article in our local newspaper in New Castle, PA about two boys

with Aspergers and all the support the school is giving them. How

these two boys have become so successful because of the support of

the autistic support teacher, and the coaches for the football and

track team. How one is working writing articles for a small paper

published weekly and one has a volunteer mentor working with him.

My son gets no autistic support, and we have to sit down with all

the teachers on Tuesday to develop a behavior plan because of his

speaking out so much. My husband and I have spent the weekend

getting a letter composed to the school about this and asking why my

son is so different from other aspie's that he doesn't get the

support needed.

I think it is great what these two boys have accomplished and I

think it is great that they have all these supports, I am just angry

that I can't get it for my son. I am also taking the article to the

meeting.

Thanks for letting me vent.
