[OT] Interesting Read On Tech In Classrooms vs None

[Admin]

My son was diagnosed with speech delay disorder and asperger (I
thought it was called Ashbergers) syndrome (very slight autism - totally
high functioning), so I know the struggles are real.

work here that has been diagnosed as having this disorder. Of special
note is the abnormalities in social interaction, and limited empathy
with their peers. This particular person doesn't seem to get along with
anyone, nor does he appear to care to. He has a habit of constantly
reporting what he deems grievous issues of misconduct to the boss, but
the issues are typically trivial. He is almost incapable of working with
other people, as he must do things his way or he gets very agitated.
Wait, I have just described 70% of the people I work with. Wait again, I
have just described me! Bob On Oct 24, 2011, at 2:20 PM, Alejandro
