Don't worry; I’d never call him that, I already know his name. He was about the only one that came to the orientation so I got to meet him, a lot of freshmen didn't come, so our groups had to form together. That's what I'm worried about I don’t want people to treat him that way, I understand what aspergers is and I know he is not an idiot. Yeah, my group leaders and I did that mistake, since some of our freshmen were uninterested we let it pass, the next time it happens I'll make sure to correct him and any other freshmen’s. Ok, I'll suggest him getting involved in extracurricular activities. Yeah, I'll try not to smother him or any of my other freshmen either. When school starts I have to check up on my students and make sure they are doing well and if they need any help. Ok, I'll remember that. Thank you for the information. It was really helpful. :)
I know you are trying to be nice but I think envisioning the fact he has it is rude. He might be able to make friends just fine. If I was in his position I would be incredibly insulted if that was all you focused on. You know nothing about him but you assume he must be dysfunctional. Why don't you treat him like a normal person and not like some retard. He might have asperger but he is just a kid. I have known people with these type of issues before and I just treat them like normal kids. They are normal kids. So unless you see something they are having serious problems with I would say wait till that point to help them. Instead of saying "Hey you got aspergers you must not know how to do anything".

You're welcome. I'm sure you'll do a good job. Just the fact that you ask this question proves you care about these kids. Good luck. :)
