[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 383749"] I can really relate to this. "They" (at school) have decided that all the kids in my difficult child's class have to give a public reading of a book for a grade. It was supposed to be a voluntary 4-H thing, but they have decided everybody has to do it. For my difficult child....I have a better chance of getting him to build a rocket ship and fly to the moon, lol. I really think this "attitude" we encounter is mostly due to a lack of understanding about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) children. Just getting people to understand that his problems are not a result of a failure to discipline him and that more discipline will only make things worse takes up tons of my time and energy. As for the church coodinator, she sounds to me like a busy-body who has some boundary issues. She probably has no ill intent, really, but she is obviously not beyond using a certain amount of intimidation and rudeness as a means to an end. I hope you can get to a place some day where people like that will not be able to rattle you. I know it's hard. I struggle with things like that, too. [/QUOTE]
