Some disabilities are invisible!!

So my son comes home from Jr. High yesterday saying that he's scared because some kids at school threatened to "jump" him. Me, the naive mom, had to ask what "jump him" meant, and now that I know, I'm steaming mad. Like how dare these kids threaten to beat up my son who already has so much to overcome every single day?? If he were in a wheelchair, he'd be confronted with compassion, but since he has INVISIBLE disabilities, Asperger's Syndrome and Tourette's Syndrome, he's confronted with hostility.
