[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [/quote]

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

New PP here, I say celebrate it all you like, differences should be celebrated, but also be honest with yourself. if there is something that needs [b]fixing[/b] or [b]significantly helping[/b], then there is something [b]wrong[/b], quite simply.[/quote]

Different, yes. To the point that getting help in order to fit into the socially acceptable way of being, yes. Wrong, no. There was a time when a lot of people thought gay people were “wrong” just for being who they are. Same-same to me. But I don’t expect most people in the world (or on DCUM) to catch up to this anytime soon. My kid will have to deal with this attitude well beyond MS and we are working on how she can do that. But I don’t want her to feel she is wrong or broken just for being herself. [/quote]

Way to take OP's post, and turn it all around to you and your snowflake. You must be a pleasure to be around. I think most of us understood what OP was saying. You just have an agenda you're determined to push. Move along now... Back to OP.[/quote]

Rather what that poster was saying by "wrong." We get it. Better word next time. Next.[/quote]

You use the words you want, and I'll use the ones I want, as long as they're accurate.  [/quote]

Geez, I'm the PP who used the word "wrong" and it was in reference to the PP who said to get DD checked out for not reading social queues. I DID NOT mean to suggest that anything was wrong with children with Aspergers. [/quote]
