[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 685643, member: 1550"] Malika, how painful for J and for you. Similar things happen here...teasing and phonecalls in many schools and I agree that your situation was unbearable. I was rather lucky (that usually comes into a picture too) because sonic started out in foster care and they knew he had been born with drugs in his system so his interventions started right away. Then...the school he went to was unusually awesome. The kids were so used to the special needs children that,although often the kids were mean to each other, most were great to the special needs kids. Sonic acted pretty much "normal" enough to have made some typical friends. Had we put him in the bigger school, the resources were not as good, and the kids were mean. So we lucked out by location and chance. An interesting note: in our poorer inner cities schools in large areas, it can be war zones with violence and even in diverse school almost all the Special Education kids are black. Racist anyone? Malika, you are doing a good job as a single parent...much harder I think than if you have a partner. I just get angry that there is no better answers worldwide for our differently wired young ones.
