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.
The history:

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
ugh girls , kids in general can be soooo mean!! i hate that. i would say something, i mean u dont have to start a fight but these parents should know how their kids are behaving!!!
good luck!!!

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
