Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Dear Chris- I'm very proud of you.....your have accomplished wonderful things and from reading your posts the last several weeks, I know you will be a caring and compassionate teacher. I'm a secondary English teacher, and I have a 10 y.o son w/Asperger's. It was surprising to me how many of my colleagues don't know about Asperger's, so I end up constantly educating my coworkers....I don't mind, but it IS frustrating that they don't know anything about it. It seems like the colleges should mention this to education majors somewhere along the line..... I also try to educate my son's teachers by providing books, handouts, websites, etc. I have go so far as to buy books, highlight and make comments in the margin that are particular to my son and then provide them to his teachers. You will serve as a positive example to SOOOOO many, I'm excited for your future students and I'd love to have you come to Texas and teach. LOL. You also give us parents hope that our Aspie children can become successful, productive members of society.... Once again, I congratulate you and applaud your accomplishments. If you need help or advice as you enter the education world, I'd love to help, mentor, and/or encourage you. Because by reading your posts, you have already blessed my life, and I'd like to return the favor. Best Wishes, S. Mom to (18), (12) and ph (10 y.o.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 i too agree when the colleges are educating our future teachers they should give basic knowledge because alot of our aspie kids arent in special education classes my son who is 11 has been in mainstream classes the whole time now going into 5th someone realizes hey this kid is having difficulties due to the aspergers so they have prepared to place him in learning support w/ inclusion so teachers could have children with this problem and not understand at all what to do or why they need to. sherryFrom: Snyder <melthealpha@...> Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 11:53:12 AMSubject: ( ) Thank you Chris Dear Chris- I'm very proud of you.....your have accomplished wonderful things and from reading your posts the last several weeks, I know you will be a caring and compassionate teacher.
