And this is not directly related to it, but, apart from the other reasons I have to put my kids in a tiny private church school, I really "fear" the public schools because I didn't grow up in this country and I have no idea how things work in school here -- just to read your blogs and from popular culture, movies and stuff. How could I help my son successfully navigate something that I'm completely in the dark about? Now, Jody touched on a very interesting point -- TV. My kids do watch TV, but only PBS, that's all they know. So... when we meet and talk to other people -- the funny thing that it's mostly other adults, the pediatrician, other people who want to please my kids and talk about something that they know -- I'm quick to point out "No, we don't watch SpongeBob/Dora/ Diego, we only watch PBS" (it was funny to see the pediatrician scramble to remember some PBS characters!! ;-). Great continuing discussion!

I spend so much time thinking, reading, and learning from various professionals about all of the variables that impact social life in schools and elsewhere, the better to help my daughter who has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum, I had almost forgotten that not everyone has the same obsession!
