Advice, please, on what to reveal.

[Guest guest]

Hello Group, I have a question for you: my son, age 9, wants to

participate in his school science fair this year (which I think is

great!) His older brothers have done so in the past, but they have the

gift of gab, so to speak, so talking comes easily to them. My 9 year

old loves to talk too, but it is the questions he may be expected to

answer that I worry about. Unless someone knows him well, they are not

going to understand his reasoning OR they may not know to rephrase a

question posed, but only assume he does not know the answer. So, my

question is, how do I, as a parent, explain to the judges (without

being physically present to do so) that son has a disorder?/DO I

explain? (I am not sure that it is right to compromise my son's

medical confidentiality), but neither do I think it is fair to allow

him to be expected to compete with his NT peers without even ground.

Ideas? i.e. do I write a little note on the presentation board saying

he has a disorder/is that too invasive? Thanks!
