[QUOTE="Malika, post: 432971, member: 11227"] This is such a hard thing to go through... I am sorry that you are all suffering from people's lack of understanding and tolerance. Do you feel the situation would improve if you had a concrete diagnosis that you could share with the school staff? You say he has been screened for autism and found not to have it - who gave this assessment? Would it help, or worsen, the situation if the teacher could be enjoined to address the issue of "differences" and tolerance and raised the children's consciousness about it? What is the policy of US schools in general on this? In Britain, for example, any form of bullying or discrimination on the grounds of disability is treated very seriously (in theory, doesn't always work that way in practice, of course). Good luck... these "witch-hunt" mentalities, targeting individuals who do not fit the mould, are unpleasant and emotionally upsetting. It's all very well saying one shouldn't care what people think, but you are human!! [/QUOTE]
