Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 <<< I had a teacher in middle school who insisted that my ds was doing things on purpose. She said he definitely has autism (she was, after all, an expert!) but when he was having tantrums or problems - he wasn't being autistic. Roxanna >>>> I have a husband like this, Roxanna. He always thinks my daughter is being " just a rotten kid " when she is misbehaving, whining, or screaming. He thinks she can turn the AS on and off, with a switch. It really hurts me when he thinks this way. He doesn't have time to learn about AS. But he does have time to read the reviews for large screen TV's and how clear the picture is on various models.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I go with-- although not everything single thing is necessarily 100% *caused* by the disability, addressing each problem does require taking the disability into account 100%. Putting that into my notes right now for my case conference. Along with...if adults are yelling, so will him. Afterall, how can I expect him to have more emotional control than a grown-up?
