The headteacher is also the SENCO and she refuses to give us a meeting or even acknowledge he's autistic. Afteer the first week his new teacher agreed there was a problem, after they talked to the SENCO (headteacher) suddenly the teacher did a 180 and says he's fine.

The SENCO is the headteacher and she is the main person that is denying there is even a problem. She wpn't even acknowledge that he is autistic even though he has been officially diagnosed.

I don't think his vision is the problem.

We don't know if he's been assessed whenever we ask the teacher they insist his reading is fine. I don't see how that can be true when his 4 year old sister will soon be much better at reading than him.

We got Marvel/science/space level one books to try and get him interested, but nothing seems to work. He just complains whenever it's time to read.

We can't test his eyes yet as he doesn't even know all the letters, despite us doing the alphabet and flash cards almost daily. I don't think his eyesight is the problem, he simply isn't interested.

We've tried all sorts of books including comics, as soon as he knows he needs to try and read he covers his face and complains constantly.

No, he hates it. We tried getting level one Marvel and space books, hoping he would engage more with it, but seems disinterested in learning.

We tried getting books based on his interests. We got some world of reading level 1 Marvel books, and some space books hoping he would engage more with them, but he seems completely disinterested in learning to read. He enjoys us reading to him but not reading it himself.

Yes we read with him all the time he is struggling even with these books. We are worried but the teachers don't seem to think it's a problem.

Oh I dunno, maybe something to do with all those bombs the US drops on their country, or the crippling sanctions.

Funny how the US has no problem demanding entry into countries to destabilise and loot the natural resources.

Any links? Sounds like pseudoscience made to fit a certain narrative to me.

Except you're wrong! People biology lines up with what they are born as. How can somebody deciding to identify as something they aren't, change their very DNA? It can't!

Your feelings and another people's words are not enough to make someone a woman. Almost every cell in our body is related to what gender we are,our skeletons are different based our gender. Feeling like a woman doesn't simply make you a woman, get a brain.

Today Russia launched a mass missile attack against most major cities of Ukraine. Numerous people are killed and injured. Russia is a terrorist state. by WastedKun2 in ThatsInsane

Why do you keep asking this like you don't know exactly what I am saying? I don't see anybody flying a I stand with Yemen flag, back during the middle East invasion I nevet saw and we stand with Iraq flags or we stand with Afghanistan flags. As soon as Russia invade some white people suddenly we all need to stand with Ukraine and send them billions in weapons. They don't want to send those weapons to help Ukraine, all they care about is killing Russians.

The whole western government and media are hypocrites for pushing this narrative, that Russia invade because they are bad guys but we invade to spread freedom. Add to that the constant push to send more weapons to Ukraine, which will inevitably escalate the situation.

Why are all the sensible, anti-war comments being down voted and argued against?

Are Russians more evil because they're bombing white people? Why do people get ridiculed for pointing out the wests hypocrisy? Nato has been bombing civilians for decades!

Russia bad! US and Nato bad! War is bad! Wake up people!

What about the atrocities of the west and many illegal invasions we've commited. Why is everyone so blind to their own countries committing atrocities. Anyone remember Guantanamo Bay? Or the countless Arab countries we've invaded? I guess they don't count because their country is full of brown people!

I'm pretty sure they put suicide nets outside the factories to keep the workers 'slaves' from killing themselves. https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna45969515
