| Okay I am by no means an expert but I believe you have every right to be concerned. She displays a lot of red flags. I have a 6 year old son with AS and a 4 year old NT daughter. I didn't really have any major concerns for my son until my daughter was born. These are the differences that I saw in my... |

| Thank you everyone for your replies. They were all very helpful. Soulice: Yes most children at that age don't like to be alone. He was slightly different though. He would freak out when left alone. What I mean is, I couldn't go to the bathroom, the kitchen, I couldn't be out of his sight or he will ... |

| Okay my son has gone through this weird/difficult stage on and off throughout his life. He gets EXCESSIVELY sensitive to things and it triggers fear and anxiety in him. It gets really bad to the point that he can't function daily. He snaps out of it after about a month and is back to normal. I don't... |

| It makes me very sad to hear about people's abusive childhood. It's so hard to be a kid already and then you have parents that make it even harder? Parent's are supposed to be a child's safety net, a place they can come to for love and support. Yet abusive parents are the cause of discomfort and pai... |

| Yes, I agree with you on the middle ground. I'm not proposing that people should be super-human and NEVER complain - but rather that as a rule of professionalism, it should be rare and kept in check so it doesn't become toxic. For teachers, because they are working with children, I think this is es... |

| Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the kid should be mainstreamed or that some of the points the cousin is making isn't true. I know plenty of parents who are embarrassed of their child's diagnose and rather have their child appear "typical" as opposed to needing special help. My point is, without p... |

| You're son's right! School IS boring!! But all jokes aside, I think it's pretty typical to feel that way. My son is 6 also and he used to love school, now he hates it. His NT 6 year old cousin is the same way. Although, they get through it successfully because there is not other option and they know... |

| btw, any teacher that thinks a child has an "inability to learn" probably doesn't know how to teach. even children who are mentally disabled are able to learn. it is true that it is very difficult to teach a child with different abilities but that's why we have "special" education and IEPs. |

| whatamess, I just want to say that I know EXACTLY what you are going through! It's so frustrating to be the only parent that helps your child. I have also entertained the idea of leaving my child's father. I see no effort on his part to help our child. The only time he takes things somewhat seriousl... |

| Like many posters has mentioned, your cousin is in the wrong field. She should NOT be working with children with disabilities. She obviously has a vendetta against parents like the one she dealt with and is now putting the child down, which is extremely inappropriate. She is acting as if she is an a... |
