[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know. If I mention to someone that I have a child with autism, they assume low-functioning. He's in a mainstream classroom, in AAP, and has friends. Autism is a broad spectrum.[/quote] THIS. My child was at a level 4 school in AAP. I had a mother who's oldest child has autism look all confused at Open House. She informed me her NT son was in AAP so this must be the wrong classroom. I told her it was AAP and she looked at my kid and then looked confused. She actually let a big ol "HE'S in AAP?!!!" It's like she had just lumped him into some big DISABLED pile. If you live with a person with a disability, be it a child, a sibling or whatever, I would assume you know that person is so much more than the disability and people with disabilities can have strengths.
