My co-workers's son also has Asperger's Syndrome. As Twisterdog said, this disability is often not so great as to be glaringly evident. He, too, attended a special school after being bullied by his classmates in a 'regular' school. My goodness, one thing that a child with this disability doesn't need is a teacher who singles him out for ridicule and then turns the class against him. I hope this little boy will be able to get past this. We sometimes carry "baggage" from childhood with us into adulthood. How much harder it will be for this little boy. This teacher has got to find another profession.

I remember growing up, years before all of these disorders had special names like autism, ADD, etc. I was in school with a boy who ate crayons every day. I don't ever remember him being singled out for this behavior. We all thought it odd but none of us kids made fun of him. When you are five years old it is not a big deal what a classmate does, unless the teacher makes it a big deal. JMHO.
