| Thanks so much, everyone. Troop leadership could care less if he has Asperger's. One of his friends in the troop (still a first class at the age of 17 1/2) has Asperger's but is more severe. For years, his dad had to come along on all camp outs to prevent the other boys from teasing and bullying him. (Adult troop leadership had a "boys will be boys" attitude.) The "new guard" (parents of the younger scouts) is a lot more with it, helpful and senstive...wouldn't you know it....just as we are leaving. I have every confidence that the current scoutmaster will delay and delay my son until everything is perfect in his eyes. It's been such a struggle and I am SO pushing my son to get it done! |
