Hi everyone! I am the mother of three children, two who are affected

with Aspergers Syndrome. My daughter is 14 and my son is 9 and he is a

classic " text-book " example of an aspie, while my daughter was a little

harder to diagnosis and she definetely shows me that there are

differences between girls and boys with AS. Just wanted to add a quick

note about the teacher asking the parent about your child. That is a

major breach of confidentiality and goes against the rights set up for

your child with the ADA..American Disability Act. I would definetely

bring the incident up in your next IEP meeting, because our kids have

to go thru enough; without " nosey neighbors " getting info that they're

not priveleged to, etc. If you really feel you should do something

about it, you can file an appeal with the dept. of education regarding

this situation happening at school.....I don't know, I've had to learn

the hard way to try to comb out which battles are worth declaring and

what ones are best left alone. But personally I would AT LEAST send an

email to the entire IEP team citing the incident and about how they

would like to ensure another such incident will not occur. Anyhow,

enough of my rambling...I'm glad I found a group like yours and thank

you for allowing me to join.
