My son wasn't diagnosed until he was 12. It was like a relief to know finally what he was dealing with. He will be 18 next week. He is now in all regular classes and actually is loving his new school that we just moved to. I am fortunate enough to have a co-worker who has twin 14 year old boys with Autism. My son was classified as PDD-NOS and has a lot of the Asperger tendencies. I want to give hugs to the posting about the yearbook. This is absurd. If I were you I would have taken that yearbook up to the principal and shown it to them. Our schools here have ZERO tolerance for these kids being made fun of. It is cruel and awful. These "normal" kids could learn a LOT from our "autistic" kids. I would NOT have sat back and allowed that for my son. I am sure that if you showed the principal they would get your child a NEW yearbook without all that in there. NO ONE should have memories like that.
