NEED HELP PLEASE

[Guest guest]

Well, my meeting did not go quite like I expected. In fact my

daughters teacher of record REALLY must not like me, because I talked

to her the day after the meeting and I had made a comment regarding

my health (I have autoimmune cirrhosis, peripheral neuropathy,

fibromylagia, and quite a few others..but you get the jest.) and her

teacher honestly asked me if I had ever considered letting someone

else raise Kati and that it might be the best thing. She also told

me that I needed to help from home like grounding her from TV, etc.

I was floored. Well, today I went to the school to see if I could

get the minutes from the meeting and when the secratary was helping

me, here comes the teacher. She actually then asked me who had

diagnosed Kati and that she doesn't see Kati as having anything but

ODD (I don't even know what this is..I know what OCD is, but not ODD)

and that Kati is a very defiant girl and she really doesn't think

she'll make it. I thought she must be talking about college, but

then she says In fact I'm positive she'll never make it past high

school. GRRRRRRRR!!!!!! I played it kewl, but I am so frustrated. I

explained to her that even my youngest son has AS and that I have

friends online who have daughter with AS and it seems that there is a

huge difference in symptoms and I don't believe enough research has

been done against girls. WEll, I am going to file several complaints

about the meeting and now these comments. If any of you could email

me your child's story/symptoms/obstacles and possibly some forms of

treatment/school adjustments that have worked, I would greatly

appreciate it because I could use as many experiences as possible

right now for Kati's case. Happy late NEw Year to all.
