Sherry, If you decide to get an advocate (and one that has experience, and knows the public school system) to support you, and educate you on your rights/laws of our schools. not only would you be more aware and know what to ask for to help your son progress and be safe. You will be amazed how much bullshit stops. they won't be playing these games (like passing you around) to different people with different titles to stall time till school ends. then, like you said, this September, school will be closed and your son will be in a different school (with different problems). { I think I read you saying that the new school will be temp. until they finish renovating the school he's in now } [then back to "that" school] If you had an advocate, That game they are playing will cease ASAP. Have you called to check out that 1-800 # I sent

you? I'm hoping they can help. Do you find yourself going in a complete circle, and getting no where? If that were me, I would get that advocate, call a meeting - with everyone present - and bring up all your concerns from the bullying to the accident in his pants in his classroom, include the harassment on the school bus, to noticing his grades dropping from over a month ago that was only brought to your attention now. and explain this Hugh black & purple bruise on his ear now reached my limits. (word that better). When you get an advocate, you won't be as stressed, because she/he can help document everything - put them in the limelight - { like Roxanna's letter } and they have to respond. Even if its a phone call, document that call and send it to them stating: Letter to the Superintendent, On

February (date) you phoned me stating that I need to address my concern with my son being bullied with my school, b/c your not aware of the bullying issue that I am describing. You mentioned the other issue w/my son Josh falling is being addressed. I did advise the principal and other staff members about the bullying from when my son was being harassed on the school bus, and its still continuing. Your question with the teacher, if you feel its considered like a hinderance to Josh learning??? IMO it doesn't matter if its with a child with a DX or NT, if the child is having problems learning and falling behind, they should have called you and let 'you' know the child needs extra help with???, provide testing, and start with a program to help the child progress. *maybe resource, a tutor, an aid, etc... whatever needed. Also, IMO, the school year is almost over, we are going into March, than 3 more months and schools out. You have be bringing up these same concerns that weren't dealt with and new ones that still aren't dealt with for over a month now. your getting passed around from the guidance councilor to the principal, the teacher, the superintendent, now back to the principal.. to who every else. I would also include in any letter, with the last sentence to read. Who do I hold personally responsible for my son's safety while at school !. Sherry, I know parents that are awesome advocates for their children, know their rights with the school system and still go with an advocate 'in case the miss anything' or to help take notes or even just for support. You are doing an awesome job...while this is all out, request a progress report for you son for each week so the teacher will have to notice everything... I want to read from others to see what support they shared to help you with this concern. No one, should be bullied at school.... <superchick0770@...> wrote: You guys won't believe this stupid phone call i just got, this school district stinks!!!!! the superintendent calls and basically told me i need to address these issues with the prinicpal, i explained i have done this and am not satisfied, he said well u need to address it with ur school, b/c i am not

aware of the bullying issue u are describing, but the other issue w/ josh falling is being addressed . This is ridiculous and when they find out i am filing a formal complaint with the district and the department of education ohhhhh they will definitely know.

he peed she said he only had to finish two problems or questions whatever and she would let him go she said IHO that he would not have made it anyway as he peed in his pants right after she told him he had to finish what he was doing.

grades were of great concern to me a month ago, anyway i just think now they know i went to dr. called superintendent and they are trying to cover their tracks, i still haven't heard from the school pscychologist but haven't read all my emails yet so we will see. i will keep u all informed and thanks for all the wonderful support.

Sherry, I don't know how you're holding up! You've got my head spinning, I can't imagine how your head is right now! Most likely, it's probably ready to explode! Nothing is easy anymore. I know I'm just so worn out from dealing with issues. No matter what aspect of my life, everywhere I turn there are issues. Red tape. Politics, Passing the buck. People dodging responsibility. People being non committal. No one making a decision. No one following thru with what they promised or with what they are supposed to do. I am soooooooo tired of the lip service. All the news reports say "it's about the children" and they always say they need more money to provide services in the schools, well, I really don't see how it helps. <yes... I am starting to ramble! lol!) Anymore, I feel like I have to keep a cut-throat lawyer on

retainer so I can call on him to deal with issues. Heck, I only wish I could afford to do that! If I could, I'd send him your way, too. Stay strong! You're doing a great job. I think getting the advocate is a wonderful idea. I hope that works out well and takes some of the stress off you, and gets a speedy resolution.

If that were me, I would get that advocate, call a meeting - with everyone present - and bring up all your concerns from the bullying to the accident in his pants in his classroom, include the harassment on the school bus, to noticing his grades dropping from over a month ago that was only brought to your attention now. and explain this Hugh black &

purple bruise on his ear now reached my limits. (word that better). When you get an advocate, you won't be as stressed, because she/he can help document everything - put them in the limelight - { like Roxanna's letter } and they have to respond. Even if its a phone call, document that call and send it to them stating: Letter to the Superintendent, On February (date) you phoned me stating that I need to address my concern with my son being bullied with my school, b/c your not aware of the bullying issue that I am describing. You mentioned the other issue w/my son Josh falling is being addressed. I did advise the principal and other staff members about the bullying from when my son was being harassed on the school bus, and its still continuing.

Your question with the teacher, if you feel its considered like a hinderance to Josh learning??? IMO it doesn't matter if its with a child with a DX or NT, if the child is having problems learning and falling behind, they should have called you and let 'you' know the child needs extra help with???, provide testing, and start with a program to help the child progress. *maybe resource, a tutor, an aid, etc... whatever needed. Also, IMO, the school year is almost over, we are going into March, than 3 more months and schools out. You have be bringing up these same concerns that weren't dealt with and new ones that still aren't dealt with for over a month now. your getting passed around from the guidance councilor to the principal, the teacher, the superintendent, now back to the principal.. to who every else. I would also include in any letter, with the last

sentence to read. Who do I hold personally responsible for my son's safety while at school !. Sherry, I know parents that are awesome advocates for their children, know their rights with the school system and still go with an advocate 'in case the miss anything' or to help take notes or even just for support. You are doing an awesome job...while this is all out, request a progress report for you son for each week so the teacher will have to notice everything... I want to read from others to see what support they shared to help you with this concern. No one, should be bullied at school.... <superchick0770 > wrote: You guys won't believe this stupid phone call i just got, this school district stinks!!!!!

the superintendent calls and basically told me i need to address these issues with the prinicpal, i explained i have done this and am not satisfied, he said well u need to address it with ur school, b/c i am not aware of the bullying issue u are describing, but the other issue w/ josh falling is being addressed . This is ridiculous and when they find out i am filing a formal complaint with the district and the department of education ohhhhh they will definitely know.

Thanks Alot Mims, That means alot. U know we have enough to deal with on our own w/out this horse crap from schools and what not. had a really rough afternoon, but said school was fine, i couldn't get him to stay on his hw he kept fidgeting and moving and spinning, he is always spinning anymore, this didn't use to be a big issue but everytime i turn around now he is spinning himself and i am scared he is gonna fall again and get hurt but he won't listen. I know that something is going on in his head b/c his symptoms are more prodominant now than they were, i used to tell people he has very mild aspergersb/c he didn't show alot of the symptoms, but now omg it is really really , he spins, he talks nonstop and alot of times i don't know what he is talking about or why he is, he claps his hands, he hums or sings (commercial jingles usually while he is playing) he spaces out alot more than he used to, do u think the stress is trigger the onset of this or do u think it is

just aperger's progressing? I know that these are issues we will face for along time if not forever but it just seems like so much more of it now.

{{{Sherry}}} Oh, you need a hug! I hear and feel your pain. How long do you think it's been that 's symptoms have been progressing as you described? As I look back with my son, we would go thru periods where things were going well in general. He'd have his usual quirks, but for the most part there would be smooth sailing. Then, wham! He'd have a meltdown. Stress was a big trigger for him He would stress out with change. If something was happening at school, be it a bully or other peer issue, or if we were planning a party or preparing for a holiday event.... his behavior and "quirks" would worsen. He'd be more difficult to manage. I grew to dread the holidays or any sort of celebration because he would get in a funk. At a time when you are looking forward to some fun and festivities, he'd get in a mood, sulk and

generally be miserable. For years we thought perhaps he was just being a spoiled brat. Let's not even discuss the onset of puberty!! LOL! With all that has been going thru, I wouldn't be surprised if the changes you are noticing are a reaction to the stress he's feeling. He probably can't figure out how to handle these issues. He doesn't know how to verbalize all that's going on and doesn't know what to make of it all. This may be his form of release. At one point, we tried holding firm to strict parenting tactics during these periods, but I think that just made it harder for him. What worked best for my son was to give him a little extra space, less nagging, less demands and extra TLC. Not that we coddled him or gave in all the time, but we loosened the reins a bit. It's not easy. I feel like a tightrope walker trying to

balance things! Hang in there! Mimssherry burford <superchick0770@...> wrote: Thanks Alot Mims, That means alot.

Sherry, I think what Roxanna was asking you, if there is a person in charge of the Special Ed? in our school that person is called a 'chair person' the team that you are meeting with, ask who is in charge of that team.

Wow, that is a big problem then!! Write a short letter of request stating that you want him given a full educational evaluation and put in there any areas of suspected problems that you want addressed (such as PT, OT and ST for pragmatic language.) You will be able to hand them this letter at your meeting. They have so many days to test him after you have requested testing - I think 60 days. Is it 60 days? Pam? I am not good at remembering timelines - only that they exist. lol.

I already wrote the letter, with all that included, and i do believe you are right about the 60days, thank you for your input, do you know that noone from the district or school has bothered to mention that i need a request in writing, so i will make sure they get it so they cant deny him any longer. thanks alot Roxanna.SherryRoxanna <madideas@...> wrote: Wow, that is a big problem then!!

Hi !

Sorry but I must have missed your earlier post. I am glad to hear you have some

people backing you who care about your case and know how to work the system. I

agree that it is sad that anyone in your/our position should have to go to this

length to get the aid and coverage they/we justly deserve under these

circumstances. Just wish that these in the positions to help would see that most

of us would rather be out there working and making a contribution to the

community (and our own coffers) instead of being forced to sit around at home

and see Dr after Dr, fill out form after form and have surgery after surgery

just to try and get some relief from the pain and disability that plagues us

each and everyday.

Enough of my soapbox.... I hope everything works out well for you. I will

definitely say a few extra prayers for you on the 24th. Keep us updated, please.

Sending warm wishes and healing thoughts your way!

Blessings,

Callie

From boy:::: Finished my finals for the semester, but don't think I got above a "C". This damned shoulder, and the "doctor" put me on percocet, which gave me hideous night terrors. Couldn't get rid of the pain or lessen it with anything I tried... . So now I'm on vicoden for the pain, but only at night. I'm still waiting for being scheduled for surgery, and that's kind of distracting too.

Reminds me of the guy who told the doctor " It hurts when I hold my arm

up like this " . Doctor replies " Well then don't do that " .

It's the catch 22 of a body. It hurts so you don't move, you gain

weight, you need exercise but it hurts to move... and on and on.

Poor wife, was an RN. Knees went out. Doctor said no walking, sit in a

wheelchair. Had they given her new knees, she could still be an RN,

never would have gained the weight, never went for the weight loss

surgery, never would have spent 7hr yesterday getting it fixed.

Could have, would have, should have.

I just went to an energy healer today about my shoulder. She said I'm funneling grief and anger through there coming from my liver and it's very, very old. I actually feel much better than I did when I went in. Think I'll go see her again before I let them take a knife to me.

7 hours seems like a very long time to be under anaesthesia, which is a dangerous cocktail of chemicals, I'm going to have to pray extra for your wife.

It is a long time. I once heard that while under anesthesia you are as

close to being dead as yo can get without being dead.

A day later she has slept most of it, on and off. I'm thinking her body

is putting all it's energy into healing after such an invasion.

Thank you, and everybody for the prayers.

I would be really interested to find one and have a consult about mine.I just thought it was from coming off my horse - but that was years ago and it was never much of a problem until I decided this year that I had to reinstate push-ups into my exercise routine.???????Ev"A hundred million miracles are happening every day!"

What is malic acid and how does it help? I have FML and when it is added to issues occurring after I had broke my back, movement is hard for me. I take Lyrica because without it I need the HEAVY pain meds. I've tried lost of different remedies over past 5 years and keep coming back to Lyrica. My husband and my animals are what keep me moving...slowly and not far..but I do still move.

Doctors have NO clue what FML is...nor do they really know how to deal with long term injuries. If I hear one more time that I need to be tested for MS, I will scream. Yes I have restricted movement and feeling on my left side...but geez, could that be because I broke my back in 1982...mid vertebrae on the left had side...and my neck top two discs on the right hand side. Whenever I mention that, they get a blank look on their faces. GEEZ. Then when I developed issues with my ankle in 2007, they really started hitting me with the MS diagnosis. I just looked at them and said, please see that I slipped and fell in the rain coming down a ramp...retore my achilles tendon in my left ankle, ripped all the tendons and ligaments from the side of the ankle and that time everything showed that there was extensive nerve damage (I can't tell where it is at..the nerves are dead). Injuries were the cause of the issues not MS.

Now if I could just figure out what turned my nerves on for pain then I can deal with the FML without the Lyrica:(

Thanks, Sheila

RE: Update on

Not moving is not an option for me. My brain won't handle that, and I live with animals who must have food and exercise.Good thing, really; it gets me up when alone I might just choose to languish. Fibromyalgia can be insidious in its persuasion....but I've already lived the discovery of that lie, and while some movement might be difficult, NOT moving is ~very quickly~ much worse.So -"I like to move it, move it! I like to move it, move it!..."And speaking of fibromyalgia - anyone out there with the issue should seriously look into malic acid. Seriously.Ev"A hundred million miracles are happening every day!"
