[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 328179, member: 1550"] Terry, I agree with the FBA, but also feel that he will (with interventions) learn to ask. I know it seems kind of silly that he wouldn't, but he has Aspergers and THEY ARE STRANGE :raspberry-tounge:. Lucas will finally ask for what he needs, but your son is younger and may not be there yet. Yes, yes, I know...99.9% of all kids would ask, but Aspergers is a huge social deficit. That's what makes our kids so challenging. On top of that, many can be extremely shy at one time, and overly obnoxiously and inappropriately in-your-face at other times. He is learning the natural consequences, which is if he doesn't ask, he doesn't eat, but that may not be enough for him. Also, maybe he forgot the instructions of what to do when he got to the cafeteria. yes, yes, yes, I know. HOW COULD HE??? Maybe he didn't. But one thing I've learned about Aspies is they are sweet, naive kids who often need to be taught the simplest things, which is contradicted by their academic intelligence. Terry, I hope next time your son does ask. I used to have to call the school to make sure somebody was with Lucas to tell him what to do, even the smallest things. But those days are over for us. He learned and is comfortable in his school environment. Remember that Asperger's kids are developmentally younger than other kids and see if he does better next time. And get that functional behavioral assessment. It is VERY important and tells you how your child functions in the real world (outside of academics). Terry, you're a great mom and doing the best you can and he will reach his full potential under your guidance. The teachers could use a little training in Aspergers! ((((Hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
