School presents an environment in which children are expected to be attentive listeners and ready learners. In addition, the school day provides numerous opportunities for students to spend time getting to know one another. It will be important that you, your child, and your child's educators have a clear understanding of the most salient points of communicating with a child with Asperger's Syndrome (as discussed in Chapter 5). Specifically, how educators communicate information and the process time they allot for it can make or break your child's ability to assimilate educational curriculum on a day-to-day basis. If your child is very passive or is a “pleaser,” he may readily get swallowed up in confusion and misunderstanding — all the while giving the impression that everything's fine, until it's too late.
