| I am sorry you had that experience. :x If this was just the first time, I'd let it go, maybe. There will be those friends that "get-it" and the ones that don't. I sure have learned so much about people's character , or lack of it, by the was they treat my lil ASpie. I don't know about you all , but ... |

| This is my first post.. The other day, he actually SELF ADVOCATED and asked the social worker if he could eat at a bank of tables that aren't being used during lunch. She said 'if she let's him go there, then they have to let everyone go there". He was also told that he can't tell people to leave h... |

| I think just about any non-negative mass media representation of Autism/Aspergers is beneficial right now. I think if we get enough of these representations, at least when I say to someone "my son has Aspergers" there will be some level of awareness of what that means, which takes a lot of the imme... |

| My daughter's school allow her to go and sit in first aid room when she needs to be alone. She too needs time to shut off from all the hustle and bustle of school time. Sometimes she takes her lunch with her. Other times she is happy to sit with others. The school had to handle it very carefully as... |

| . I agree. It is a tough concept for kids, especially nice ones, to wrap their heads around: that your child WANTS to be alone.

| If the other boy is really kind and compassionate, explain to him - with your son present to nod or otherwise confirm - that your son needs quiet for lunch and the other boy would be doing him a favor by not joining him for lunch. Then maybe the other boy can spread the word and your son can get so... |

| I don't have AS, my 11 year old son does--so my perspective might be different but.... Here are some of my main thoughts- 1. I loved that a really well known author had a main character with AS, and he was "lower functioning"( not sure if that's correct way to say it- he was more affected than my so... |

| This is my first post.. I hope this will post in the correct place--the discussion about the lunchroom. This has been such a thorn in my side. I am happy for you all that your schools worked with you regarding this and offered suggestions. I first discovered my son (11, with AS) eating alone last ye... |
