Definitly He is classified Aspergers PDD NOS SID Or how he said once Aspergers POD (instead of PDD) To which I said what does that mean? "Problem of the Day" and he replied.

Boo also has that :) i'm looking to move him to a new school. it seems his teacher is tired of dealing with him. she won't out & *say* it, of course, but he suddenly can't do anything without getting into trouble. i'm pretty sure he hasn't changed his behavior, so it must be her perceptions of it. i seriously do NOT see a problem with him saying, during a class discussion of things the kids like to do when they're bored, that he likes to target practice with his pellet gun. since that *is* one of the things he likes to do when he's bored, of course he wanted to share it. i realize that in some places it's not socially acceptable, but in a class of mostly boys where drawings of guns & bombs abound, i cannot see why he was singled out & reprimanded for this comment... unless the teacher is indeed singling him out now. lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. > i seriously do NOT see a problem with him saying, during a > class discussion of things the kids like to do when they're [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > he was singled out & reprimanded for this comment... unless > the teacher is indeed singling him out now. Or unless there's been some issue that's come up and there's now a crackdown on that sort of thing.
