[QUOTE="keista, post: 534621, member: 11965"] This is why we talk about donning :warriorsmiley: (warrior armor). Shake off what they are making you feel and do what you need to do. Easier said than done, and it takes practice, but you'll get there. I would more concentrate on the jr high counselor and the transition there. Schedule appointment(s) for the very beginning of the year - first week or two. the problem is that structure in jr high is so different from elementary that it's impossible to predict what the big issues are going to be. My son went into major sensory overload especially switching classes. He dreamed of having a portable cubicle that he could walk around with. The coping/calming/venting strategies that he was specifically taught in elementary were not allowed or acceptable in jr High. The difficulties also sent him into depression. It was very difficult but we managed to get through it all and get him functioning and even excelling. He still needs supports and he needs me to be a helicopter mom, but it's good. So anyway, my advice it to become an Aspie. No, not really, but when you are dealing with these ppl, sometimes it's beneficial to act like one. Only listen to what they say and what services/accommodations they actually provide. Stop listening to their inflections, tones and body language - it more often than not makes you second guess your warrior mom mission. [/QUOTE]
