One is a tad more sever then me, one is the same level as me, and one is a tad more milder then me. I met them all on my own, and they seem to like me quite a bit. but, i noticed something, there are about 12 students with Aspergers syndrome in my school of over 1200 students. the diagnostic rate for Autism Spectrum Disorders is 1 in 150 or 135, but there are over 16 students with an autism spectrum disorder of somekind! i think the Diagnostic rate is rising O_O.
