She sat with him every day at lunch all the way through eighth grade when they ended up going to different high schools. The teachers made sure that he was in her classes each year because the social relationship was very important. My daughter also knew how to calm him down if he was having a difficult time. Encourage Connor's parents to notice the friends who support and care about him. They will help him almost as much as any treament will. I still keep in touch with his mom, who is a very high ranking officer in the Army. She went to War College, and unfortunately had to spend a year in Iraq.(even though she is Reserve) She just returned home a few months ago. Anyway, Glendon, this young man with Autism, was mainstreamed all the way through school, but had a lot of extra support, is doing fantastic. He went to a local college for his first three years, and is going to transfer to San Francisco which is about seven hours away, for his final year. He has two younger brothers. Very strong family who expected the best from him, and he rose to the expectations.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like Connor has the same kind of support system, so tell his parents to continue advocating for him and never give up. I am very aware of Autism Speaks as we have several other friends who have Autistic sons. I will head over there to watch the video.<BR/><BR/>Big hugs,<BR/>DebDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178647238310680492.post-54222376489799108062008-04-01T17:15:00.000-05:002008-04-01T17:15:00.000-05:00I used to work with children who had Asperger's Sy...I used to work with children who had Asperger's Syndrome.
