[quote=Anonymous]A couple months ago, I had a conversation with the mother of one of my students with ASD. She said that her daughter with HFA was being ostracized by the NT girls in class. I promised to discretely observe. I found that the other students WERE reluctant to work with the girl. It seemed in large part because of her approach to group tasks. She was rigid in her thinking and not open to, let alone appreciative of the ideas contributed by others. This is not how most NT girls approach group work. This same rigidity of thinking complicates social life for Aspies. Don't want to always talk about a certain anime series, you must not like me. There's an awkward pause after I make a joke, you're bullying me. I feel for the parents and therapist of this young man. Sounds like they were working hard to help him.[/quote]
