Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi from New Zealand, My son is 11 years old and was disagnosed with Aspergers in 2003, just after starting school. He's what I guess you would call a mild case, copes fairly well with school work and can appear invisible in a classroom. He has zero tolerance for teasing, which makes him an easy target as the other kids love to wind him up. Basically my biggest concern for him is that he has no friends. I've already moved him from one school that had aggressive violent children in it, and he was miserable there. His school now is better but he is still getting teased and keeps telling me he is lonely. I think he makes it worse by drawing attention to himself, but of course he is seen as an oddball. The kids call him " Random " , Freak/Geek etc. Beating my head against a wall with the teacher who claims he is doing everything he can but won't discuss issues of concern. I'm sure many can relate, not sure if I'm asking for advice here or just sounding off. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
