I was a student in your class during the spring semester of 2010. I really enjoyed your class a great deal. I have recently graduated with a degree in ___________ a... |

| KLG was probably one those 'popular girls' who emotionally bullied those who were considered low status when she herself was in middle school and high school. Did you see how she asked Zach if the other kids gave him a hard time for hanging out with "defective freak (in KLG's eyes)? I put far more b... |

| Too disgusting for words...how KLG and their crew treat Zach like a hero and Graham like he doesn't have feelings. They laugh at him multiple times and give Zach the gift basket with all the goodies and make such a f*****g big deal about putting the Cubs Tix in the basket for both of them to go to a... |

| Homeschooling while socializing with other AS kids and NT kids 4-5 years younger than me. Throughout middle school and high school, I was an outcast, emotionally bullied on a daily basis. Academically, I was about 2 years ahead of my age but socially and emotionally, I was about half my chronologica... |

| I'd like to hear some differing opinions on the subject. I've talked to those who've had positive experiences and felt that it helped them navigate the NT world while still keeping their passions while I've talked to others who've had negative experiences with therapists who tried to take away their... |

| The article is appalling and a real insult to those kids who were really abused by their parents. Not buying the toys they wanted! Sending a birthday card they didn't like! Telling them to come home at midnight! Sorry but that sounds like normal parenting to me. What about all the grown kids who gre... |

| If you are uncomfortable with them, don't do it. There are plenty of moderately socially awkward people with AS out there who'd be interested in doing this.
