I am bothered by the preceding paragraph. I mean what you know, and what
you presume from it. What you know is; The kid is small.

What you presume is; he has serious issues. [What is "serious issues"?]
possibly is mildly retarded. [How do you
ascertain that?]
acts like he is emotionally disturbed.
[How does one act emotionally disturbed?]
probably has low self-esteem. [How do you
measure that?]
comes from one of our migrant worker
families. [My guess is that you presume he is disadvantaged].

What can we infer from that?

I find the above statement puzzling. Try explaining it to your son and
tell us how he responds.

>How is it you know so much about Asperger's, if I may ask?

I don't know much. I am a con artist and haven't had much success swaying
clarinettists to my point of view.
