It sounds like you have the idea that AS kids are happiest when there are other AS kids around. Or that teachers can do much to help kids enjoy each other. I don't know if this is true or false, but I'll bet others here have some experience with this. I do know that a teacher can encourage kids to be mean to a child, but I'm must less optimistic that a good teacher or group of good teachers can be effective in promoting children getting along with each other.

Any BTDTs here?
