[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 5 yr old HFA DS is just like the prior two posters children - desiring of social interaction but unable to execute like a NT child.  It is heart wrenching.  He has no friends.   I watch how his direct peers react to him - for the most part like an outlier.  They call him "baby", "slowpoke", and other names on almost a daily basis at school.  He has no friends.  He comes home almost every day talking about how someone slighted him.  It is not the other child's fault - he just cannot communicate with them effectively even though he desperately desires to do so, and he has an extremely thin skin.  Anyone that does not think this is HFA/Aspergers should read Tony Attwood's book.  We had one of the most well thought of neuropsychiatrists in the area confirm that he is "not a close case", but clearly HFA.[/quote]

It's a parenting issue if kids are acting that way or a teacher issue for not addressing it.  We have one kid who is horrible to all the kids including mine and I just give the kid a look and tell him to cut it out as do several of the other parents.
