Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 WOW! What a need idea . Now I just wish I lived in your area because the parents of the kids in 's class rarely attend anything and don't care if they ever take their kids out in public. They don't want to make friends, they just want to hide in their little corners and hope it all goes away. ( Not a very friendly bunch. Tina > One of the mom's in 's class had a party at the local rollar rink last week. We have all decided to chip in $10 and that will cover pizza, drinks and skates rentals. We're going to do this once a month. It's only $200 total which I figure is a DEAL! > > No one staring, no dirty looks, every typical child there understands and is > sympathitic. > > What more could I ask?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Well I am co-chairman of the family support part of our pdd task force. I nned to know these things. Of course I always end up as co-chair when I am foolish enough to go to an IEP meeting instead of the task force LOL. My friend told me that I was lucky they didn't sign me up to co-chair the whole thing LOL> I really think mom parents should look into things like this. It makes all the difference in the worls not being alone. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Darn Tina that stinks! I tried to set up a playdate with and one of the little boys she was rollar skating with. His grandmother said oh no he's too aggressive! Yuck I hate the idea of him being alone when he's just crying out for attention. Hugs hope it works for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the girls in 's class did come to her birthday party but that's it. No other contact from the parents at all. wants her to come play after school but I can't arrange that unless her parents agree.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 wendy this is an awesome idea! i am going to talk to some of the mums i know. i rented an indoor pool for rowan's birthday and paid a bit more to have the pool to oursleves. it was excellent - 6 little boys with autism along with their siblings and parents and just as you said - NO ONE STARING as they screamed and flapped their hands. very clever idea wendy!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 You know, thinking about this now, I really don't care that I have no social life. Well, outside of . LOL! It isn't that bad really. I have made a fried or two doing my book thing. Anyway, why don't I care anymore? 1. For three and a half years we litterly lived a block and a half from the elm school. I got so sick of the kids friends (and one very rude little girl in the neighborhood) saying things like " Why don't you send the kids to school, it's just over there? " " Why have all the kids home all day? You need time just to spend with the little ones? " " You should send them to school and get a break. " In my mind, because I just don't have the patience to deal with the sort of people who become teachers and adminstrators (with the exception of my friend Stu), that would not be getting a break. Besides, I know a couple of my kids would not do well in public school. 2. For a very long time the people that I would run into and make that face that people make when a child acts up and I told them that Savannah has autism were like " She doen't look like anything is wrong with her. " Followed by " All kids do that. " I can no longer deal with stupidity like that. Georga Hackworth Men. Can't live with 'em...can't trade 'em in for their weight in chocolate.
