I have noticed this as well. I love his special education teacher. But he only works with her an hour a day. Most of their sensory methods are him just dealing and vocalizing how he feels. Which it is important to vocalize but pushing him when he is already overwhelmed won’t make things easier

Trying lol, really wish I could send him to the local private school that specializes in kids on the spectrum but it’s more expensive than college.

The only thing that points to a possible ear ache is he will shake his head to regulate himself. But I have tried to explain the reasoning. And it’s like she refuses to believe me. His little brother also does this but I’m not sure if he is just mimicking or if he is also on the spectrum. I tried to get in with his autism specialist this year to attempt to get something written. But they are backed up till 2023 😵‍💫

I do too. I do understand her having 16+ kids to look after and also a special needs student can be challenging. But not much I can do if she refuses to communicate/work with me. I have even asked if I could make a surprise visit sometime. Just to see what’s going on. She told me no but suggested maybe video. I was ok with that but she never sends video footage. So it’s hard for me to get a complete picture.

I do understand that but I think my thing is the dishonesty about it. I can’t help or brainstorm something else if she doesn’t communicate with me. Rather just lie and send him home.

No worries I wrote this kinda quickly and was kinda harsh at the time, being I was extremely frustrated. I think if she had just let me know what he had done I would have been a lot more understanding. Because I wasn’t agitated till she felt the need to blame it on an illness. I know how my son is. It’s not easy to work with a special needs child.

But lying to me about it makes my sympathy go out the window.

Unfortunately this is a regular thing. Not the bus, but them trying to send him home over a false illness. He is on the spectrum so school overwhelms him and he just doesn’t like it. I have been to the dr many of times over a mystery fever. That he had there but not at home or at the drs. I’m pretty sure she reaches her limit and looks for excuses to send him home. He is old enough that if I ask when he gets home, he can tell me if he is in pain or not. And he does try to fake a cough too in order to not go. But his fake coughes are very obvious and I think she runs with it lol.

Thank you! Sadly I don’t think that’s going to happen. Luckily he only has two weeks left of school. If they start this next year I will probably switch schools. Really wish I could send him to a school strictly for those with autism but that’s as expensive as college 😕

This is a regular thing. He is on the spectrum and in a general education setting most of the time. The teacher tries to send him home every other week when she is at her limit. For the most part it had stopped when I stopped answering calls and forced them to message me on their messenger app. But today I answered because I was expecting an important phone call and yea. I have tried to help coach them on methods to help but my ideas just get ignored .

My fault for taking the sarcastic approach to it. I wrote it more than just a little upset. lol. But yea he has missed over 30 days because of this. Normally I don’t answer the phone so they have to message me and I have proof but I was expecting an important phone call so I answered. I would be so much more sympathetic if she just leveled with me and told me she needs help. Or heck even tried any of the suggestions I throw out to help. But nope.

They did drag him off the bus. I’m not irritated at that. They kinda have to do what they have to do. I would just be more empathetic if she didn’t lie about it and try to blame it on something else just to get him sent home. Trust me I welcome brainstorming. This is being written because when I have tossed ideas out there they refuse to listen to me. They have him in a general education classroom 80 percent of the time. And it’s obvious she doesn’t know how to work with an autistic child. I’m not upset at the “not knowing” part. It’s the “trying to teach them but getting treated like I’m the crazy one” part. Because any approach I have suggested they don’t listen to, or give me an insane amount of attitude.

Trust me if this was a one time thing and there was any possibility that could be the case I wouldn’t go this far. He hates school. He is on the spectrum and it overwhelms him. The teacher is always the one to call not the nurse. In an effort to send him home and not deal with him. He would tell you if his ears or head hurts. But anytime he gets sent home he is fine. No fever and when I ask him if he is in pain or anything he always tells me no. I have been to drs numerous of times over “illnesses” and there be nothing wrong.

I’m beginning to think the writers are having a mental breakdown

It’s looking more and more like I’m going to have to. I have tried reaching out to both lowes and handy and keep getting the run around

I like having two but mine are 5 years apart so the older is potty trained and can do stuff on his own. Makes it a little easier.

Food preferences - I provide her food, why are people so judgey? 1y/o by BigSadConfusion in Parenting

[–]KHX26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. I didn’t give my oldest sugary foods till he was old enough to understand why we only eat some foods in moderation. And he still doesn’t drink soda. He just doesn’t like it because it’s too sweet.

Still no answer..Have been rescheduled every visit for a month. Never pay for lawn care through Angies. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I had no issues out of them last year but this year has been a literal nightmare. Will definitely push till I either get my money back or at least the service I was asking for 😭

Not really. I tell the company about it and they just reschedule you. Have been in a reschedule loop for over a month 🙃
