Only it was never corrected. And then I had to go thru these SpEd 'Social Skills' classes, and I was often not allowed to associate with the other regular kids, and this happened all throughout elementary and middle school.....it affected me pretty badly, and I couldn't recover from it before my senior year of high school ended.


I think classes like that are great and needed more than ever. I wish that there was more focus in rural areas also. We need a system that streamlines these 'social skills' training programs across state lines. I think it would be so nice if the government would fund the creation of a targeted learning program for social skills lessons customized for kids with Aspergers. Something like that should be a part of their school day. There also needs to be more workshops like this available for adults and offered free of charge by county. This could really speed up these kids ability to have a normal and happier life.
