Unfortunately, my son has also been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. He's never had good social skills and always has somewhat of a rough time. But this happened at the very end of the last school year, and he didn't go back until Fall. The teacher hustled him out of the room and spoke to the kids. It really hasn't been an issue for them.
My son feels embarrassed and humiliated, and he is convinced that they all think he's crazy. But this isn't something they bother him about. The things we deal with seem more rountine than that. (Today was someone spilling a bottle of white-out in his backpack, ruining it and a library book.)
A friend of mine's daughter has that. You have a heavy burden, Dianna.
My brother in law has aspergers. He has a very hard time talking to anyone as he cannot talk about anything but movies. He knows everything about movies.
My wife has done a great deal of research on it. There is a body of evidence that says diet (too much sugar and carbs and too little of the right fats, omega 3s) can make a difference. Unfortunately he only eats a few foods. He seems to be doing much better lately and is attempting to interact.
He was not helped at all while he was younger. He has attempted to make these changes as an adult. Had someone worked with him from a young age I think he would have been much happier. His parents were in denial.
