[quote=Anonymous]I think you handled it very well, OP. I agree that saying something about everyone’s brains and/or bodies working differently is a good think to add. At kindergarten maybe you are wise not to frame it as a “disability” — when I was in college in the 90s the preferred term was “differently-abled”, which may seem silly and PC now but still I would hate to offend. One year we did a class presentation about ASD to my son (with ASD)’s class and I love the idea, but it’s hard for parents to know if a teacher likes that approach or not. We did it because that year, the teacher asked every family to “share” something about themselves with the class. MAny families talked about their heritage, family traditions, etc. so it worked well.[/quote]
