Aspergers
I have Asperger's, but I went to a school called Anova which is for Learning disabilities in Santa Rosa for 6 years, and now am a fully functioning adult who is planning on graduating from Santa Rosa Junior College in the Fall of 2014 and transferring to SSU to get my credentials to go back and teach there. For Asperger's students, I bring my personal ability to empathize with the students and my knowledge of the techniques and things that helped me and didn't help me. However, I do keep in mind that all people and situations are different, and that my knowledge of what has helped me does not trump what a parent has found to help their own child. I know the struggle that both parents AND children go through when dealing with Asperger's, and will yield to your knowledge and requests about your child.
