Whilst appreciating that disruptive (and other) behaviours can present in many different ways, one has to be careful not to 'paint everyone with the same brush'.Paul Whiteleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288851488012254897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548560205914833324.post-33915271611919100132011-03-07T08:04:32.383+00:002011-03-07T08:04:32.383+00:00I've got Asperger's syndrome and personall...I've got Asperger's syndrome and personally I don't think the condition has anything whatsoever to do with autism.<br /><br />My old school is now one of the largest schools in the world for autistic children and has a wonderful reputation among the parents and health professionals; however it's presence in the local community is very much resented due to the inapropriate behaviour of the pupils; they are disruptive, steal from local shops and receive both financial and personal support far in excess of what any local resident would ever get...and to be honest, when I go back home and visit my parents I don't want to be associated with these people.Lee Firthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840041938444250850noreply@blogger.com
