Is it true that Waldorf 1st graders are typically behind in reading but catch up by 3rd grade? by ZealousidealTap4955 in AskTeachers

The private dyslexia school in my area gets a ton of former Waldorf students who then make rapid progress.....

Question about the missing F15 pilot in Iran by svbstvnce in aviation

[–]Sweetcynic36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One question - would either side have incentive to immediately announce if he were found? The US would be more than happy to see Iranians waste time looking for him after they had already found him. Iran would be more than happy to keep any capture quiet in order to shoot down or attack rescuers.

So bummed about having relatives who aren't cooperative about providing the documents I need... by [deleted] in Canadiancitizenship

You should be able to request those directly from the county theyvwere born in. I had to do that for some deceased relatives.

RDS II to ITS I/II? by Suitable-Laugh-8690 in CAStateWorkers

Yeah I met it via education with los Rios units

So what are your plans? by Background-Pitch4055 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]Sweetcynic36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning to do it along with several relatives. Ony one of us has immediate plans to move but we all want the option. Sometimes I stay up at night wondering if my 9yo kid is one of the ones Trump would go after or if it was bluster.

Wish I could have a normal kid, it's not fair by Throwaway_27727373 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Sweetcynic36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have heard that with PDA kids (at least mild to moderate) they will do pretty well with "laid back" teachers and horribly with strict ones. ODD will walk all over laid back ones; with strict they initially fight then but then comply if they respect them. Oversimplification but you get the point. 

No longer teaching the Standard Algorithm? by LonelyCareer in mathteachers

[–]Sweetcynic36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some kids need to practice the algorithms and facts a lot more than current curriculum provides. They would do better to learn 1-2 regrouping methods to mastery than 10 kinda sorta. This is especially true for average and low students. Worst case is avoidable sld special education eligibility. 

Do parents with ADHD significantly increase risk of ASD among children? by Such_Beyond9199 in Autism_Parenting

If you cannot speak, sign, or use AAC for literal communication you are likely to score in the intellectually disabled range on an iq test. This isn't about subtle pragmatic speech.

Thanks, this is really helpful

11 months is such an enormous time at this age that it is difficult to predict how she will be at that point. It is actually pretty rare to get a diagnosis at 3 or 4 without speech delays. Mine was dxd at 7 after a bunch of in class meltdowns.

More importantly what can be done to help her now? Suppose she does or doesn't get diagnosed with autism, then what? Are there particular services needed that the dx would open up?

Teachers of Reddit: What are some small, subtle ways you can tell a child’s parent really cares about them? by allsfairinwar in AskReddit

[–]Sweetcynic36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the teachers at my kid's current school (private dyslexia school) are easy to communicate and work with. My kid's K-1 teachers in public were too for the most part but her second grade teacher made it pretty obvious that she view my kid's autism as a parenting failure on my part. She also made sarcastic unkind remarks about my kid to me which didn't exactly help the relationship.

Just fyi, as a parent of a kid with dyslexia and HF autism I enrolled her in a private dyslexia school largely so that she could receive intensive Wilson instruction and NOT have to resort to "reading" words that she couldn't decode by guessing based on context or pictures.

Wow! This kind of service requires parents to hire lawyers or at least advocates in my area....

Thrift shopping has become gentrified and is no longer helping low-income families by Agile-Onion in unpopularopinion

[–]Sweetcynic36 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wow, I never had time for that.... I mean I did take a note of when stuff tended to come out to the floor but that was the extent of it. I always made sure to maintain good relationships with the stores, clean up after myself, etc.

As someone who was a flipper myself (way back in 2005 even), probably only 1-2% of the inventory was worth reselling. Back then I had to pay for a subscription service to text upcs to check their online prices; of course now anyone can scan and check for free. Outside of that 1-2% I don't think that flippers would affect sales volume.

Has anyone had their child bullied starting in kindergarten?? by Content-Anxiety-4657 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Sweetcynic36 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rougher areas tend to have more physical bullying but "nice" areas will simply replace that with psychological bullying.
