[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are insane. Nothing in your post gave enough information for people to diagnose her with ASD or say she has “real problems.”  Middle school is brutal. Love and support her.  Most girls have these issues.

Thank you! I can't believe how quickly PPs jump to some medical diagnosis. It IS insane. Kids are awkward sometimes--that does not mean there is anything wrong with them. This board sure does make a strong case for homeschooling... :roll: [/quote]

As the PP with the DD with HFA, I have to take exception to the characterization that there is something “wrong” with DD. [/quote]

Seriously?  [/quote]

Yes, seriously. My DD is the sweetest kid, never a bad word about anyone, very bright and hard-working, not a great athlete and socially awkward. Why would that mean there is something wrong with her?  In my view, there is more wrong with the kids who are mean to other kids for no reason. What do you think?[/quote]

I think that if your daughter has a diagnosed medical condition, and you are taking exception to the characterization that something is "wrong" with her, it says a lot about your own baggage and acceptance of that condition.

My kid has a heart condition.  There is something wrong with her - her heart, in particular.  It doesn't make her a bad person, or mean she's unworthy of love.  It's not a value judgment, it's a statement of fact.  Something is not the way it should be.  Not wrong as in immoral, wrong as in not correct.  [/quote]
