[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 418426, member: 3419"] I have to say, I "see" some Aspie traits from your notes, too. Psychologists and psychiatrists seem to only be trained to pick up on the totally over-the-top Aspies who fit the stereotype. Even if you had a carved-in-stone diagnosis, though, I bet that one teacher still wouldn't give out the stickers. We had a math teacher like that last yr. OMG, I was so glad when we didn't have to deal with-her any more. And I'm sure she was relieved to not have to deal with-difficult child. She insisted that he just didn't care and was doing it on purpose. Yes, he does not like math and is not good at it. That turns into a major deal when you have an Aspie. That's the part she didn't get and couldn't care less whether it was true or not. [/QUOTE]
