My reply:

As the teacher who organized an informal

group of students to walk with a 7th grade victim of

‘entertainment bullying’ that mentioned on Friday, one of

the ways that our victim connected with his new walking companions was to make

up nick names for everyone. The students embraced the nick names and it

became part of the glue that united the students.

Very interesting--and Kudos to you--for being so innovative and progressive!

I would like to say that my son's friend who lives down the street is a gifted student--my son's best friend and only close friend. But he names kids and things--and he and my son have nicknames for everyone they meet! I never really thought much about it as we have another non-autistic childhood friend who does the same thing.
