[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 280708, member: 1991"] One day he WILL appreciate that teacher. I had to nag difficult child 1 for the several years it took him to graduate. It was hard work, having to balance the pressure vs the space for him to make his own mistakes. His teachers also put in a similar level of effort. we got him through, and I then took it one step further and got both him and his best friend (another Aspie) enrolled in a one year college course. I had to 'hold their hands' through the enrolment process including introducing them to the college Special Education support staff. I liaised with the college Special Education people through that year, I bullied best friend into NOTdropping out in the last few weeks (he was afraidof failing; I was quietly told he had already passed due to the hard work he had put in, all he had left to do was meet the mandatory attendance requirement). A year or so later I overheard difficult child 1 say to a friend, "You should have had my mother helping you through school. Man, she was brilliant!" It made it all worthwhile. Marg [/QUOTE]
