Bingeman Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:59:51 +0000 http://parentingaspergers.com/blog/?p=109#comment-4536 Please advise how to get the school to implement all of my son's GR6 IEP. Some things are missing and I am having to ask my son if things are in place after something has not been done. Email seems to only work with 1 teacher. Also, do you have any strategies for discipline for the school other than recess detention if my son has "body contact" in school. My son rushes to his friends defence if in trouble as my son is very tall for his age. This lands him in trouble at school. This behaviour increases with the winter months as the do not get the outdoor activities. (he needs the recesses to vent his accumulating stimulus.)

I think it is demeaning. As one who works in the field and trains others I always teach the person first language. No one wants to be toltally defined by a condition or diagnosis. Would it be that difficult to write "person with Aspergers" or "person with AS?" That seems much more respectful than "Aspies" which make it sound like a different species or a pet, not a human being with many wonderful qualities beyond their diagnosis.

I have a son 18 that is a senior in high school. He seems very much like everyone else, he has aspergers, but has some real issues. It seems as if most articles are geared towards the younger set! I'm finding less and less to read on this age group. Thanks Kim Hi Dave, I would really like some articles on the older kids…high school and college. I have a son 18 that is a senior in high school.
