[QUOTE="keista, post: 430220, member: 11965"] Sorry, but you might have to get used to that kind of response in the educational system. If they admit they see something wrong, then they have to deal with it. When my son started school, he had a language delay and that's why he was placed in the Special Education pre-k (South Carolina by the way). They kept alluding to other 'issues' but wouldn't give me any decent hints as to which direction to pursue. They were less than helpful, and for a first time mom who thought her son was 'perfect' and a 'budding genius', it was crazy frustrating. Aspies can definitely have oppositional behaviors. If you look at ppl's signatures here, you will see a lot of Aspies, or AS or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) followed by ODD. My son never displayed as such for 2 reasons. 1. He's probably not wired that way 2. When I became a mom, those things that others think are oddities were normal for me and I just naturally responded in a positive way for him. Turns out my Dad is also an Aspie. My mom died when I was five, so this Aspie Dad raised 3 girls on his own. Even now, as my kids get older I consider my son my "easiest" child, and the one I understand the most. Also, while fine and gross motor skills are very often delayed on the AS, they don't have to be. They could also be "incomplete" like my son's. He could do buttons, zippers, snaps, belt buckles, transformers etc. Lots of great functioning in his fine motors, but he could not, and would not, color or draw. UNLESS is was one of those really big fat oversized (not the normal thick ones) permanent markers, and then it was only on the wall. Back then, not knowing, and not really paying attention that much, when the Dr asked if he colors, I said OH YEAH! All over the walls. [/QUOTE]
