Many kids with HFA want to have friends, but they simply don't know how to go about it. They may not be able to understand others' emotions, or read facial expressions and body language. As a result, they may be teased and often feel like social outcasts. The unwanted social isolation can lead to anxiety and depression. And there's more...

We all know it's there, bring it out and be proud of being you should be the message taught. If you teach pride, ignorance doesn't hurt you as much. Unfortunately, schools I've dealt with state that parents are more opposed to their children becoming targets and want them to fly under the radar. Have we not noticed sight out of mind didn't work...next?

My son was diagnosed with high functioning autism. He knows how to ride a bicycle very well, and I own all the credit to getting him a pedalless bike / balance bike right before he turned 2 years old. With out the pedals in the way, he just learned to balance. He started very slow just sitting and walking, then after a while he would lift both feet of the ground and balance as he road. He mastered his pedal skills with a tricycle. It was the best present I ever bought him, highly recommend!!
I'm very high functioning teenager. I heard I have PDD but it changed to just high functioning autism. Some of these really hit home for me. Like some social and developmental parts. I've noticed all my peers throughout childhood and adolescence have had almost mainly social breakthroughs I've never got to experience. Like in the video how I couldn't learn how to ride a bike like everyone else, everyone started to have cliques at the end of elementary while I never had friends until high school, and all my peers were in relationships all throughout high school while I'm 18 and I just seem unlike able. No boy has ever called me pretty, looked at me in "that way", or seemed to admire me at all. Maybe they think I'm lesbian or they just see me as "a bro" or a friend. Idk if it's how I look at them or how I awkwardly socialize. A lot of the times I try not to look at people just to avoid conversation with them because it's so awkward.
