It's getting on to back-to-school time, and my son is heading off to high school in

another town. He's only half and hour away, and there are family nearby if he needs anything, but I can't help but feel nervous for him.

Wish him (and me) luck?

almost all kids need support at some point in High School, even the valadictorian goodie two shows and captain of the Football team class President.

Hoping that your staff is competent and flexible and that he and you have a great experience.

I got called from High School for my youngest more well adjusted son and told he was being "sort of insubordinate to the bus driver" (white) one time. White bus driver I am white his Dad mulatto and he was bowing and scraping "Yes masser, whatever you say masser" after being told not to do something. He wasn't going to defy the bus driver he only was horsing around. But he we all talked and he apologized and it went OK.

My older son when in grade school had a male third-grade teacher kick his desk across the room in frustration. That son had undiagnosed Aspergers, dyslexia, dsycriptia and is hyperactive but does not have attention deficit. He was also suddenly becoming nearsighted. I heard about it from his cousins. The school just called and told me he was changing classrooms because of an number of students imbalance. It sounded to me like the situation was resolved.

He wasn't hurt, or ostracized by the other kids because of it. Asbergers kids are not quite as likely to be traumatized by something like that. Other things yes. We talked about it of course.

Both were successful in High School and College and I hope your son joins the millions who make it through because of caring parents and teachers.
