Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Please forgive me, but I wrote personally incase you had already unsubscribed. I'm sorry for your decision. Ronnie's comments were not representative of all our opinions. From what I know of Guppy, the list owner, she will censure Ronnie for her actions. I hope you'll consider rejoining the list. If not, please keep my address. I'd be happy to exchange ideas and views on " our " kids anytime. My son is 9 and I don't know a lot about the older children's issues, but are learning. Thanks for your time, Tonya Hettler Texas Rep, Unlocking Autism http://www.unlockingautism.org Federation of Families Technical Liaison for the Texas Panhandle http://www.txffcmh.org Goodbye As if being yelled at and dealt with in a rude manner wasn't enough. I recieved an email at my private email address from Ronnie. Lets just say it wasn't a friendly greeting. After reading it I am saying goodbye to this group.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I don't understand why this teacher is so upset over Ronnie's comments. When she wrote this email blasting her student's parents...she had to expect that some parents would get defensive. I really don't think Ronnie set out to alienate the teacher. I think she was just trying to help the teacher see the parents point of view. I for one would be very offened if my son's teacher insisted I try the gfcf diet and to put my child on meds. That is a personal decision for my family and my family alone to make. How can a teacher even think to criticize me for not going the route she thinks is " right " . Some parents simply can not put their children on the diet for many reasons. This diet is expensive, time consuming, and extremely difficult. I put my son on the diet for almost a year and we were all miserable and it didn't do a thing for us. My other kids suffered because of the gfcf diet as well. They ended up having to eat anywhere from the laundry room to the backyard so that my son with autism will not try to snatch their non gfcf snacks. I know that this teacher is just trying to help...but don't you think it's going a little overboard to threaten to leave a group because of one parent that had differeing ideas?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I was surprise to hear e the teacher had resigned from the group after reading her last post and she sounded sad and frustrated I emailed her individually to be positive and supportive but I guess my e-mail wasn't the only one she got. Largely the response she has gotten from the list has mainly been positive and I am sorry to see her go- hopefully she will reconsider. I too think it is helpful to get a different opinnion because sometimes I can get tunnel vision. I'll keep her in my thoughts Jeneane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 How can we hope to establish a dialogue with teachers if we only drive them away? I too sent e encourage e-mails privately hoping that would smooth over any hurt feelings. It's just another reminder that we can't put " teachers " or " parents " or " kids with autism " in a group and make assumptions. I think we're all so sleep deprived, we forget how stressed out we really are. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
