[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 286345, member: 1550"] I do have a son with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified/Aspergers (whatever it is) who would be quite defiant if treated as poorly as your son was and with as little understanding about autism. These kids are intristically wired differently and DO NOT RESPOND to typical teaching/parenting methods and the educators should know that. Is your son getting any help for his autism? in my opinion you need to get your son into a better school setting, and I wouldn't waste time. I'd call your state Dept. of Public Eduation and ask for the Special Needs advocate. And I'd tell them what you told us and let them deal with it because they will and they have a lot of power over school districts. They hold the purse strings and can conduct investigations which no school district likes. I think that perhaps your son needs a smaller setting. I'm no professional, but my guess is that his problems stem from his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and all the other diagnoses are pretty much alphabet soup. Has your son ever had any early interventions or ongoing interventions? Does he have a tailer-made cirrculum just for him? My son used to spend 1/2 day in Special Education, where he really blossomed because of all the 1-1 and the small classroom, and then he'd go with an aide to his other classes. He is doing GREAT. Next year, at 16, he will be fully mainstreamed with only one classroom (a study hall) where he gets special help. He has maintained almost straight A's and has friends and never acts up at school. But we got him a lot of help for his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and would not allow schools to mistreat him. You must take a strong stand and go outside of your school district to get help. They obviously refuse to help him. It stinks to have to go to the Dept. of Public Education, but that is how we got our son in a program of our choice that really helped him. Plus we were referred to a school advocate who comes with us to every IEP meeting. The educators are on good behavior around her. We haven't had trouble with the school for years. If anyone had dragged my son across a carpet even once, I would have callead CPS. And pinching his cheeks? DENYING HIM FOOD? That's child abuse. Put on your warrier shield and get your son help.
