no, i think most of his challenges in life so far have been set by him(self). he is very self directed at home. Continually busy with many of his interests( he has many)- point being that the principal sort of went down the aspergers path. I don't know of any asperger's kid who is/was good and enjoyed doing a vast number of things from athletics to music to academics to playing board games to back packing - i could go on; but he does need to be occupied at all waking hours. Lately the biggest charge at school is being bad. eg. two days ago he was annoying his neighbors in the class during a subject he was bored at, one of the kids told him to stuff a sock in it. he removed his shoe, his sock and then stuffed it in his mouth - boy did he get a response from the teacher- who went on about how disgusted she was and the rest of the class. Hmmm I wonder who is in charge in that class right now.
