Great story in The Washington Post regarding the Diamond Elementary School in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The school is tailored to the needs of children with developmental disabilities. Children with Asperger's Syndrome are able to cope with their anxieties and focus on their education. They thrive.
I wish there was a school like this when I was young. However, Asperger's Syndrome was unknown back then. I was simply viewed as a very sensitive child with behavior problems. Public school traumatized me for years afterward.
