Recent Aspen cutback and re-structure
Whooter:
--- Quote from: "AuntieEm2" ---A respected adolescent psychiatrist in practice at a major university reviewed the Aspen approach and reported to me that it "does not comport with any method we teach or advocate at any credible institution of adolescent psychiatry in the country."
--- End quote ---
I have spoken to professionals in the field who feel the opposite. So it goes to show that people are divided on the issue, but there is no reason to be hateful towards others, AuntieEm2. If you feel a staff person is ridiculing a student then they should be identified and the school should be notified.
--- Quote ---You just hate it that I'm right. Go ahead, blow more smoke now. Blah, blah, blah. Send your links to your bogus studies, blather on in long posts about what a horrible person I am, attack everyone on fornits. Blah, blah, blah.

I don’t really care how you feel, Auntie, I was just saying that you make statements (to degrade people and schools) that you just make up out of thin air, because you are angry, like:
“Ha! They go from occasional peer ridicule to incessant staff ridicule.”
And then you get pissed like you did above when I or anyone else calls you on your BS.

So ... Auntie Em relates something from her personal experience, and you call it making "statements (to degrade people and schools) that you just make up out of thin air?" Nice...
I'm also not really sure where you get this "when I or anyone else calls you on your BS" with regards to Auntie Em, Whooter, since you're the one who usually gets called on that! Certainly not Auntie Em!
Are you that desperate that you need to distort facts -- and make up imaginary friends -- in order to convince others that you have some credibility here? :D

--- Quote ---"Adolescence may be the most difficult time for an individual with Asperger's or high-functioning autism," explains Tatsapaugh. "In adolescence, social demands become more complex, subtle social cues become more important, and kids with these disorders may have difficulty understanding their peers and the inherent social status structure of high school. Because they are socially naive, the child may not realize when someone is trying to take advantage of them and they can be especially vulnerable to manipulation and peer pressure."
She adds, "This school will be a comfortable place for them to feel safe and be who they are without peer ridicule."

I can't believe how these places actually think that a program environment, one that specifically relies on manipulation and peer pressure to effect behavior modification, and hence, perhaps unavoidably, also peer ridicule, will be of benefit to kids with Asperger's or high-functioning autism.

One of the best arguments I've seen you make since I've been here. Thank you Ursus.
