I don't know what I was under, but they only had me there for math and english. I miss those days, I got more work done and I had friends, small 2-5 people group with a helper is a lot better than 15-25 and a teacher or what ever in a full class  anyone know where in a high school i'd go to ask for one again? Guidance maybe? I don't know where the resource room in this school is.

well alot of you seem to have a label, my iep was from 1994 which at that time aspergers wasnt really known that good. i had a complete different label for my iep report. you may find it interesting though. and what i IEP and phsyco educational report may look like, as you can see from the report even with someone who may have had a hard time as a child, still did well in school and graduated from high school with good grades p=. so dont ever give up on your child. if i can do it, you all can do it. anyways thought it may help understand what autism/aspergers, adhd is all about in school.

has great strengths in applied math/word problems (at grade level) and word indentification/decoding skills beginning 6th grade level. weaknesses include writing samples mid 3rd grade level, reading comprehension 4th grade level, and spelling dictation: mid-5th grade level.

his test scores indicate strengths in vocabulary and abstract pattern reproduction. his speed of processing is consistant with his overall ability, and fall in the borderline range.
his perceptual testing indicates delays in both visual and auditory memory skills, he seemed to become overwhelmed with visual memory tasks and has difficulty with frustration tolerance.
description of specific disability
weaknesses in visual and auditory memory
below grade level in all academic areas
the conditions for which the student originally qualified for special education services, have not be remediated to the point where he can adequately function in regular education without special education support.
summary and recommendations
a senior in high school, a good standing, he reports no injurys or illness that may have effected his learning, he passed his vision screening, but has a documented hearing loss in left ear, his current ability testing reveals very consistant scores with his previous ability tests, his scores fall in the borderline to low range, his verbal skills are slightly stronger this his non verbal skills. since he does have a documented hearing loss his verbal skils may not be accurate measure of his ability. his overall scores are not consistant with his success in school setting, he has been very successful in his academic classes. |

| They had me as Gifted and Nld. The dreaded Gifted/Learning disabled diagnosis. Theere was some other term they used before I was diagnosed with AS, I know processing deficit was one of them, but there was some other abbreviation that I can't remember. |

| The last one I had said "severe learning disabilities." They knew I was AS, but couldn't say so because there was no official dx. |

You know, I'm SO jealous of you folk these days...
I'm 41 and "back then" I was just stuck in some of the "remedial classes" and considered retarded...
Then I got in trouble in math class for contradicting the teacher as he did a problem that amounted to a negative number, but he put the answer as zero! I contradicted him and said it was minus whatever it was & he said "we don't use minus numbers in THIS class"!!! 
I have gone on to do various studies since leaving school with NO qualifications and have allsorts of things, up to and including degree... Some kinda retard, eh?!?! 
Be well

Vette they did that to me in a way they just put me in a room. I had to teach my self how to read and do math, and every thing elts i know. I was just sweept under the rug and forgotten. I was labled gifited and emotional handycaped EH for short, Autistic. but the school did not include it. All the need was to use the EH to shove me in a cornor and not taken seriously. I have true hate for the school!
