[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think autism means violent, but I think that he may have faced rejection due to poor social skills and then misunderstood the appropriate reactions to rejection. In particular, the entitlement and lack of empathy he expressed I see among many of the students with ASD that I teach. Social skills groups and individual therapy are key to navigating adolescence, but many Aspies drop those supports after middle school.[/quote] Once again, more bias. You have got to me kidding me that you see more entitlement among children with HFA than you do among those who are NT. Have you thought about about hom many NT you know who lack empathy? If anything my child with HFA has so much empathy he is in pain for every child he knows who cries or has a bad day. You are stereotyping. Do kids with HFA have poor social skills? Yes they do much more so than NT kids and yes, I agree many need to keep up the supports in highschool.[/quote]
