Fran the two reports that I watched regarding him having an assigned counselor etc. stipulated that it was not due to any propensity for violence initiated by him. It was concern that he was so vulnerable that he would likely be targeted by the other students...bullying and harrassment. I so relate to that "deer in the headlights" photograph. difficult child#2 had that same of uncomfortable expression in photos for quite a few years. Fortunately that trait faded as he lived longer in our home and began to feel safe...at least "at home".
I'm very curious what medication he was taking...if any. If AS stands alone I don't know of any medication used except perhaps an anxiety medication or a sleep medication. It will be of interest to eventually find how he was diagnosis'd and by whom. Most of us have had to seek multiple professionals over a span of years to feel comfortable with the diagnosis. Somehow I can't place blame on his Mom. Like the rest of us she was imperfect but obviously dedicated and trying to do her best. DDD
