[QUOTE="SRL, post: 40713, member: 701"] All I can say is I'm glad I didn't know squat about Autism back in the days that I was teaching Physics. [img]:rofl:[/img] There's a child in my world who I am certain at *minimum* brushes up against an Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis. It's hard living with that recognition because on one hand I have a passion for early diagnosis but on the other I'm highly sensitive to the fact that it's no small matter to suggest to another parent that something might be different about their child. In the end I wound up having a chat with a teacher I knew well because the boy was engaging in social suicide on the playground, but I'm sure nothing came of it. on the other hand, I have a family in my life I know well enough that I could be candid and persuasive with and I've been guiding parents through the process of getting answers (which they should have shortly). Obviously I feel a lot better about recognizing the signs in this child because I was perfectly situated to take action. [/QUOTE]
