Noah's last writing assignment on the year required them to do a "look back" on 3rd grade...noting both the high and low points of the year. Here's the part that killed me-
"The one thing I would like to forget is that nobody usually plays with me. I think I have great ideas for playing, but nobody else likes them. If they did like my ideas, I don't think they would forget to play with me. This makes me sad."
*ugh* Ugly way to end 3rd grade.

AWE MAN! I am sorry Amy and Noah. That is tough. Possibly the hardest thing about the Aspie set is that they often realize they are different or the whole friends thing but don't know what to do about it.
If you move this way, Mike and Noah could be friends!
Regardless, where ever you go I hope he can start fresh and find a couple buddies. Cait still has no friends she brings home, but starting over in middle school gave her a chance to start fresh with kids who never knew her in her younger/more difficult years. I think that helped a lot. She does have a "crew" she hangs with at school. I hope Noah has the same luck.

Oh the poor, sweet baby. That just breaks my heart. I know if you guys lived close to us my boy would love to play with Noah. Billy has said similar things to me and it always breaks my heart and ends in a trip to Toys r' Us where I end up spending way too much! LOL.

This is so sad and unfortunate. I've heard those comments too and it just breaks your heart to hear them from any child. I like the idea of reviewing these low points annonomously in class. I think it is good in general so that everyone can get those life lessons. I know it really helped my daughter (2nd grade) this year to know what was going on and be able to tell the other kids. They really changed their attitude toward her when they realized her behaviors weren't intentional. She was so excited (no kidding) to know why she was different. She was saying the same things before the dx. Now she always has playmates & defenders. They know she is different and so does she, the other kids actually have been theraputic to her. They tell her when they are joking and she doesn't notice etc and it is all very playfull and they are a little facinated (as is she). It is good to see. I wish this for you and Noah and all of the other Aspie's. I really believe it will get better.
