I would agree, heartily! We talked to his teachers, and asked why certain things were assigned. He still has to do his homework, but if he can show in a few questions that he understands the concept (ie he shows us 4 of 30 questions correct), he doesn't have to finish the rest. But the subjects wher...

Seems to me that you have decided that the only one in this relationship that needs improving is your son. Why is that? I originally thought perhaps I'd written things up badly, but I don't think I wrote it up THAT badly. Yes, we all change. Sometimes at HIS request. Amazing that. Your comments wou...

There is a lot of benefit to having a high school diploma these days and personally I wouldn't just throw in the towel at this stage of the game. I'd get him the support he needs to get through school. We're not giving up on school... we're just giving up (sort of) on forcing him to do the homework...

I've skimmed a couple of blogs, and read a bit here, and at another aspie site. I've also asked #1Son, to be honest... He's old enough...

First of all, where are you located? Sounds like your school situation is AWESOME! I may just want to move there with my family! Hehe... Maryland, right on the PA border. Bit north of Baltimore, in a smallish, rural community. We live in (and I quote from the dealership commercials) "...the heart o...

Hi... I'm new to this forum. I've skimmed the site a few times but never joined until today, and I did so in tears. I'm hoping to get some advice. Background: #1Son is 16 years old (just barely). He was fully diagnosed with Aspergers about 3 years ago, although the schools label him as "mildly autis...
