If Jenny is cool, she would avoid Asberger's kids growing up. That happens. The cool kids reject them. Sad thing. They aren't just "wacky" off beat kids, they are truly having incredible difficulty as if they are in a foreign country when among normal kids. They speak a different emotional language.




I tell people to pretend that my daughter is an English As A Second Language Person.

It helps, and they are far more understanding of her.

I do believe you have hit on it. I have noticed kids lately are far less rejecting of their peers who have problems than in my generation.
