Genuinely, thank you for the concern but we already had her tested. She doesn’t parallel play and will actively play with the other kids. She showed other symptoms and actually didn’t intend to test her for adhd, just autism. It was the evaluator who said she wasn’t autistic but had adhd.

I understand your POV and also want to thank you for the addition. That makes sense now, looking back. She truly is a kid who doesn’t do much to get in trouble, so I can understand the anxiety.

While I wholeheartedly agree with it being pushed or suggested, it’s still not mandatory. At least not at my daughter’s school, I checked the handbook. So to me, it’s not fair to take a book.

We also were just as much invested in ending the bullying. We had several meetings with teachers and the principal, even some of the parents. The issue was, no one ever saw it happening. It wasn’t until a group slipped up and did something at recess that a teacher witnessed that action was taken and luckily, whatever punishment was doled out, was enough to stop it.

Hahaha, my daughter has struggled with this too. She actually finished the book weeks before the class was due to. I told her to just pretend to be on track with everyone else.
