Foreign Language In School
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had any experience with their child with Asperger's Syndrome taking German in school? My older daughter took Spanish in high school (she also has Asperger's), but my son will be taking German and I am worried because it can be a very difficult language to learn.

Does Anyone Have A Problem With Their Little Ones Wandering/running Off?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son will wander off if he sees the door open when he's at school. It's so bad that he does it anywhere from 5 to 10 times a day sometimes. He'll wander/run off when we're out shopping or at a park. Even at home I've chased him a few houses down. It scares me so much. And he doesn't get scared if he doesn't see me or his daddy anywhere around, he'll just keep on walking.
