| Missypie, I really do have to hand it to your S for sticking it out so long in scouts! My S who also has Aspergers made it through cub scouts fine (my primary goal was to provide him with organized opportunities for learning social skills); he moved on to Boy Scouts after cub scouts but our district's troop was the opposite of WashDad's criteria for a "good" troop - and the lack of structure, organization and leadership at both the scout level and the adult level was a huge turnoff for both S and me. Which was of course very unfortunate for S since the teen years is precisely when Aspies need more practice in developing, not just social, but also leadership abilities. |
