[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 120085, member: 1233"] I have an aspie and in high school he has done well with block scheduling and every other day classes. But he is totally off the chart in IQ measurements. Just no common sense and lots of other aspie-isms. School can make all sorts of accomodations. Is handwriting an issue? Push the school for an Alphasmart. They are about $200 or so, many schools already have them, and they are indestructible (my son's lasted with him over 3 years!!!) They are a very simple computer that has no games, "folders" for each class, and I think my son's had a scheduling feature, not totally sure. My little guy is eating his shirts. I haven't been doing laundry, so I didn't discover the extent of it, but we need to hit the thrift store again. ALL of his shirts are either too small or the neck is getting holes. If he would chew gum it would be in his 504. But he hates it!! As far as gum, it should NOT be a big deal for hte school to add it, it hurts NO ONE. My son was able to leave class at will for the restroom or to go to the resource (ED) room. IF the class was esp. noisy or rowdy, the teacher often sent him there because they knew he would blow up at home if he didn't get out of there. PLEASE be careful in releasing info to the school. I have seen many occasions where the schools then used this against the parent and child, and even times where the school used this to make a report to DHS. I don't see where their testing him will hurt, unless you think they will skew the tests to show he doesn't need services. Aspergers is a neurological problem, his brain is wired differently. You should be able to get services based on this, and possibly SSI or disability. It is certainly worth trying. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
