We have a great little boy with Autism. He is 7 years old and i found out early that he had Aspergers Autism.. He has over come so much but the one thing we fight with everyday is his speech, Reading and Spelling.. Its gotten to the point that some kids in school think its ok to pick on him, Well call it Bulling but the school calls it kids not getting along. Lets call it what it is when my son goes to school and one boy singles him out and calls him names and makes fun of him cause he cant read and write like others in his class, I asked the school to let us talk to the kids and explain to them my sons Autism, NO they said that is not right to lable my son with Autism, Hell, the kid that picks on him is doing the same thing. So at least my way is trying to explain why my son is different.. But now it took months for my son to learn that the next time it happens now he say, ALL PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT< AND IM DIFFERENT SO DONT PICK ON ME.. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, TO BAD> IM ME AND ALOT OF OTHERS LOVE ME.. I DONT NEED YOU BEING MEAN TO ME, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU CANT BRING ME DOWN.. What words to live by coming out of a 7 years olds mouth, And he is my Blessing.. So PROUD of you SON...
