Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 19, 2012

Is Caulfield an autistic savant? He certainly seems to think that way.

(I myself have Asperger’s and I can relate to the way Caulfield is depicted)

He is what teachers now hate – a boy. He needs drugged until he stops moving.

Now i know was Mrs. Olsen did when she wasn’t selling Folgers’ Coffee.

My kids get the whole week off. Guess it’s not worth it to have them for three days only. Happy Thanksgiving all.

1 in 10 children (10% if you can’t figure that out) are diagnosed with ADAD, but only 3%-5% actually have it. Meaning it’s overdiagnosed quite often. And there’s some debate even about those numbers being too high. Diagnosing it has nothing to do with the disease apparently, but rather how parents WANT their kids to behave. They don’t behave how they want them to, so they drug them. Disease or not.

I’m starting to feel sorry for the teacher.

I disagree with you much of the time, but I do agree that comments on a post should be restricted to what the poster actually said.
