We have an Asperger's kid in one of our classes. Highly talented at chess but has a tough time relating to, or conversing, with other kids.
I feel sorry for him, he's in for a life of emotional pain. He can't maintain a relationship outside his parents. Very logical and intelligent- yet unable to connect with kids
It's odd, some of our kids are mini me's of people I've worked with in professional settings. Has given me a more broad understanding of the human condition so to speak. Most folks are very normal, some have real issues that, as I have learned, will never be normally functioning human beings regardless of the support they may rec'v. Very sad. VERY sad.
