Okay, this is probably going to be long, and since it doesn't have anything to do with DS, it may not be relevant, but I want to vent.

Ugghh. Girls.
Your daughter sounds like a great friend to have. Where is the twins mom in all of this? She must be aware of what's going on. Have you spoken to her at all? I try not to interfere with my kids choice of friends unless the kid in question is real trouble and then I put my foot down. Even though the school cannot reveal L's dx they have an obligation to protect her from bullying and this amounts to psychological abuse IMO. I wonder if the school counselor might be able to give this class a lesson in tolerance and bullying. It might work in elementary school but middle school is something else again.

I totally agree w/ the pp, this is not exactly about her Dx, but more about bullying and meanness. They should stop because it's an awful thing to do to another human being not because she has AS. I would certainly say something in the Mom's night out-- tho I don't suppose I'm the most socially aware and probably it would push me further out of the group, but that is just WRONG.

GIRLS! bleh. Most of them should be locked up in solitary confinement from age 11 until they're 20! Using one twin against her sister is just plain awful, that girl needs to be stopped, someday she'll get her reward-- too bad it's not sooner rather than later.

This is a form of bullying and should not be tollerated

I talked to DD after school today, and apparently the kids involved had to apologize, one at a time, and in person, to L.

You know you might suggest a book to the teacher for the kids to write about. As a form of creating a class discussion


Remember Judy Blume's books. There is one book titles Blubber. Lets see if any of you remember that book. But is is about a girl that everybody picked on.The girl was overweight and in today's terms an aspie. But even the good kids well allowed this girl to be victmized. But In the end if I remeber correctly there were some hard lessons learned . But I think it might create for a good discussin in any classroom set up.


But most schools nowadays have zero tolerance policies. Time to check your schools policies

I'm so sorry your dd had to endure this, but kuddos to the teacher for responding as well as she did. I hope the parents of the kids were also notified and that these kids learn this lesson quickly and thoroughly.
