I can't PM because I'm a guest so here goes. Aspberger's is high-functioning Autism. Most Aspberger's kids need little in the way of academic help. Any emotional difficulties usually arise from social dysfunction. Counselling from a trained professional is the best answer. A counsellor can give the school recommendations as to how to make school life a little easier. It may be that the wind is a metaphor for the excessive playground noise and activity surrounding an over-stimulated child. Its important to accomodate the child's need for a quiet and orderly space. If possible, this should take place outside but hiding is not an option. A good counsellor or occupational therapist can help this child cope and learn to respond in socially appropriate ways. I hope this helps. Tell the family that the prognosis is very good and that her child has every opportunity to lead a healthy, normal life if given appropriate therapy. Most schools do not have these services available regardless of waiting lists. Start looking at this as a medical problem and seek help through the family physician.
