Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I never use the term outside of this forum. but I'd like to raise another question. Do you always tell people or friends that your kids have aspergers? Do you think that it might affect their relationships with their peers? My sons 15 and his friends really don't know but sometimes I feel it necessary to tell the parents. Only his closest friends. No matter how hard we try there is still a stigma attatched. -Son B 15,ASP Starting 10th grd in Sept I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but is it just me that takes great offense when a child who has aspergers is called an aspie? I don't find it cute at all. Our children are not defined solely by this! Would it be right or correct to label a child with downs syndrome as a 'downie' or a person with breast cancer a 'breastie'? I hope you see where I am going with this. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
