I have a daughter with Aspergers entering middle school in the fall and I was going to ask this very question! I wonder what helps kids on the spectrum who not interested in academics. She is very bright, but as far as school is concerned, she could care less about performance, grades, etc. Teachers in the past have modified her homework which is good and are more understanding when she doesn't complete things. The problem is that I think they get too understanding and she ends up thinking she doesn't need to do the work, and that it doesn't matter. I find out about projects after the fact sometimes and when I ask her why she didn't do hers she'll answer "I didn't want to". When I ask her what her teacher said she said "nothing. she doesn't care". I've asked them to give her consequences, but I just know in the upper grades, individual attention is harder to get. I don't want to send her to a special school, because in many ways she's too high functioning. She went to a specialized camp for a few years and it wasn't a good experience. Though she definitely has Aspergers, she isn't a text book example and has many atypical behaviors, which makes her a bit of a mystery to a lot of teachers (especially inexperienced ones) who only know about AS from what they've read or from the most extreme examples. And she's a girl, so again she's different from most kids with AS who are boys (like she hates video games but loves instagram and other social media). This puts her in a bit of a gray area and I think that makes it in some ways much more difficult. It's too easy for her to go under the radar.
