[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 402652"] Boy, does she ever sound like my son. You might want to check further into the Aspie diagnosis. My son was only diagnosed last week. As for the math, the school I work for is also very rigid in how they teach certain concepts but they are also finding that there are some students who will NEVER be able to do it that way. It is up to the parents, such as myself, to get them to allow those few students to "make sense of it in their own way" as long as they are able to show or explain how they did it so the teacher KNOWS they know what they are doing and not just pulling things out of thin air. My favorite response to some teachers has been "the proof is in the pudding". Definitely bring it up at the meeting and make them allow her the option. In my case, it has worked. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
