[QUOTE="buddy, post: 517205, member: 12886"] I agree Janet. Unfortunately, the kids with high functioning autism, Aspergers, and especially Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified (even if in the schools they are just under the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) category) are often treated this way too because all of these are invisible disabilities. They come off as rude kids who are just refusing to do as they are told. Some even seem like bullies. So even in schools districts with a lot of autism services like my district which has enjoyed a great reputation for autism services, end up doing poorly with the more verbal kids who have behavioral issues. (non verbal kids, kids with repetitive hand or body motions, the more easily identified kids with autism get far more understanding even though they may be doing the same behaviors for the same reasons).
