An Autistic Student Makes History

[MissMonika]

My son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome this year (he is 5). He loves Books and has no time for people under 10 years old. i call him a grown man born late. His major challenge is that it is hard for him to communicate with children his own age due to his large vocabulary (he reads at a 2nd grade level). For this reason, he would talk with children and they would have a blank look on his face. He is going to speech therapy to help with his social skills. The hardest thing is going through any public school district with a learning difference you cannot "see."
