Can you send me more information about what happened? My e-mail's aneeman@autisticadvocacy.org. I'm generally available via e-mail, though if you don't hear back from me within a week or so, send me a follow up in case I didn't get it or it got buried underneath something else.<br /><br />-ADNAri Ne'emanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994339439474211203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-56975914923798845152010-02-04T00:23:11.737-05:002010-02-04T00:23:11.737-05:00Can I join your Oberlin ASAN chapter from New York...Can I join your Oberlin ASAN chapter from New York?<br /><br />I personally would love a group to discuss being ASD in college... the stressers of being here are making my invisible disability more visible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-66786686736053565912010-02-03T18:47:12.083-05:002010-02-03T18:47:12.083-05:00And that shows how important it is to have profess...And that shows how important it is to have professors like you.<br /><br />Or at least give a social context that you and they are comfortable with and still act professionally.<br /><br />The professors of my acquaintance do try to explain at the start of the year or at the start of the semester.

I understand completely about...Don't give up. <br /><br />I understand completely about the email.<br /><br />I had a professor who gave me a C without any explanation and I was certain I had completed all of the assignments perfectly so I sent him an email to ask him how he came to his decision about my grade. That's my right as a student and I should get an answer. Wether I agree or not is different, but I should at least get an answer. He emailed me back saying that I was RUDE to him for asking such a question especially through email! Then he explained that if I wanted an answer I had to meet with him in person so that we could "discuss" the situation. <br /><br />I was like, what situation, all I wanted was a simple answer to a simple question and I asked it in plain english (no rudeness involved). I felt like he wanted to add a whole crap load of social drama for no reason. <br /><br />Not surprisingly I did not go and have a "talk" with him and kept my C. I felt really left out.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001020811877167957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-27604146864231718492010-02-02T22:13:32.783-05:002010-02-02T22:13:32.783-05:00Maybe more students will come if there's an AS...Maybe more students will come if there's an ASAN where they are.<br /><br />There are some other cool people, and non-students at that.<br /><br />Why indeed?Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.com
