[OT] Interesting Read On Tech In Classrooms vs None

[annette dejulio]

Dear Mr. Sneidar,

I emailed you once in the hopes of clearing my deceased husband's  
name from the LiveCode listing, however I was not successful and I  
have continued to receive the email. I have categorized it as junk  
( I don't mean to be rude or unkind).  I usually delete all of the  
livecode without any regard.  I have no idea why I read this about  
the person with Asperger Syndrome, but as a teacher with a great deal  
of experience dealing with  Autistic children, I woul like to plead  
patience and understanding for these folks.  Neurologically, the  
Asperger person is quite bright and struggles every day to deal with  
a strange, frustrating world.

Sincerely,
Annette DeJulio
