| My parents actually visited some of my teachers individually to tell them about Aspergers. Emm... While that is embarrassing, I do see why they did that and think it could be a good idea, as the diagnosis probably isn't on my records. In my school district, I believe that with an IEP one can only graduate along the "minimal plan" which is essentially vocational, and requires counselor approval to explicitly follow! Not good at all. |

| i don't see how many of you are saying no... if you have an IEP the teachers are aware of it. |

I think all of them would know considering it is put down on my Individual Education Plan.

I think all my teachers know I'm different in some manner, but not all of them know it's Asperger's. I'd rather they knew it was Asperger's or just not know because I've gotten patronized a lot, tbh.
I don't know how many people know in my class, but I think everyone knows I have special needs, which is kind of annoying because it's made me view them in a different way, and the way they wind me up I'd never do to someone with special needs, tbh. It's also left me paranoid, and I've decided I'm probably going to alienate everyone who talks to me, LOL.

| I'm pretty sure most of them do, they have confrences at my school for kids like me. Sometimes I'm suprised at the people who know I have it. Even at my vocational studies program they knew I had it. |

| I've spent my whole life learning how to look, act, and learn like a normal child, so I don't even know if I'd be diagnosed Aspie. I do know my teachers wouldn't believe me, even if my favorite time was hanging out with my Autistic nephew. For some reason I could always chat with him and have fun, and teach him things even though he supposedly had a disorder. I just told people they were doing it wrong, and that he was a really smart kid. |

Nup  Not a single one. Niether Primary or Secondary. It's still a mystery for all the teachers. In general, only a few people that are not teachers know about it.

| When I was in school, my teachers didn't know I had Asperger's, but neither did I at the time. All my K-12 teachers knew I was (at the time) diagnosed with ADD, and was on a very well known psycho-stimulant. I think some of my elementary and junior high teachers may have realized ADD wasn't quite what I had, but I left that school in 1994, so, Asperger's wasn't really a diagnosis available at the time. |

A few did. My Chemistry teacher knew for sure...I think my English teacher knew (I DID do a paper on Asperger's Syndrome, although I can't remember telling her outright), as did the English teacher in my junior year (but he was scary...long story). I told my History teacher at the end of my junior year, I think. He was awesome. Too bad he has to move away; I'm going to miss him even though I've graduated. Seriously, he was a good guy.  |

| Nope. And none of them have suspected it, as far as I know. At least, they never bring it up at parent-teacher conferences. They just think I'm shy. I'm polite and I generally follow the rules, so they don't care. |

I think some of my teachers do know.
I always ask my mum "do my teachers know about me" ?
My mum and I have a meeting with one of my teachers that i have for 3 subjects.
We talked about me having Aspergers and how i fit in to my class. |

None of my teachers knew I had it...I didnt tell them..and even if they did find out, they can't do anything now since I graduated high school and had just completed my first year of college in paralegal studies.If my college instructors found out, Im not sure how theyd react.The fact that I had successfully completed my first year with high marks, will actually work in my favour but I dont want to say anything because I dont want special treatment.I didnt disclose my aspergers for the reason I didnt want to get things because people would feel sorry for me.I wanted to earn everything coming to me and prove to everyone that even though I am on the spectrum, I am capable just as everyone else is.

In high school, I kinda had no say about whether or no my teachers knew. Basically, if that teacher had me, they would know. It grinded on my nerves, because I sometimes couldn't tell whether or not they were doing something just because of my autism. Pondering this only added more complexity to my life, which I really didn't need.
My college teachers don't know; I never gave that information to the school. |

| My teachers do not even care to want to know. All they know is I get extra time on exams and assessments. I'm being treated, sometimes worse (discriminated against by one of my year level coordinators as everytime I say something, he just raises his voice at me and tries to find faults in my words and actions. Other NT people are not treated like this as I've observed. He treats them normally), than an NT person, as they think I'm intelligent and thus, do not need any guidance and help. But in reality, I am struggling following instructions and taking down fast spoken notes. |

Yes, they do. In other ways it wouldnīt work. And almost all my friends knows it too, and itīs not a big thing actually. They often accept me for the person I am.
