hi. i don't have a child with special needs myself but my little brother has Asperger's Syndrome. he's 13 now. and he's very socially awkward but is very happy and doesn't realize it most of the time. but he doesn't have many good friends and kids used to pick on him a bit when he was little. he doesn't always know what is appropriate to say to people and tends to talk for ages about whatever thing he's obsessed with at the moment. luckily, it's mostly normalish kid things. it used to be Pokeman, for example. but he'll just go on and on and on until even kids that love whatever it is get sick of it too. he doesn't go to special ed, never did, but his teachers are aware that he has Asperger's so they understand that they need to be a bit more patient with him then the average kid. i'm pretty sure he inherited it from his father (my stepfather)
