[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 605099, member: 1550"] I know the father. He's a single dad and a strange bird. He knows about autism, but fought hard for both his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) sons to be mainstreamed. He did not want them in special education. At some point in time the boy did get an aide. This kid is not particularly high functioning, even though he is very bright. His autism and it's behaviors get in his way and I wonder if t his is because his father turned down the interventions because maybe he didn't want his kid to be different, but he obviously is. He's much worse than Sonic as far as acting autistic. Half the time, if you call his name he nods at you, but his eyes say he isn't there...he's somewhere else. He doesn't socialize at all. He gets picked on even if Jumper's school, which is unusual. I'm guessing Dad fought this placement, but not sure. They involved the cops (the school) and this child may have had to go to juvie, which is ridiculous. I would not engage the father. He keeps to himself. As far as I know, the two boys and dad live with grandma and Mom is somewhere in Texas with another man, but she does see them every summer. [/QUOTE]
