Actually it was much better than it could have been. Mon-his more typical Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) junk but very redirectable and not agitated at all. Tues-doctor appointment threw everything off so more verbal stuff and didn't do much work. Today, teacher said was a pretty good day and even said yay! but she said the "sex" talk continued and increased. This is a totally predictable outcome because how in heck can a school "ignore" words that insult other kids and adults, no matter the intention. Of course they have to stop it as much as possible.
I am still waiting for them to do the "training" for other kids/adults about abi/autism. That was supposed to happen how long ago?
I am a little concerned, and asked them to document how much time he spends in his "office". He said he is sick of being treated like a baby and always having to be alone in his office. i dont know that it is "always" and maybe it is more right now because they are trying to let him rest more and not to push him. Trying to avoid battles. It is a hard road to navigate and i do undersand that. Just have to be aware.
The hospital patient advocate called and said that they have to do an investigation and I said that i had no desire to get this boy in trouble (if it went further that would be different, and not even in trouble because obviously he was there for a reason, but just to make sure they were helping him) and I also said I do not want Q interrogated or anything, that would be a huge disaster given that it is already on his mind and talk therapy, punishments, etc. have always increased his perseverative, compulsive behaviors.
I did write the teacher back and asked what exactly happened. She just emailed back and said that he was with the class in the morning. In the afternoon he started doing the motions he showed me with the sounds (rubbing chest and making sounds) and of course the kids laughed so naturally he had to leave the class. The whole thing is so frustrating. And as I thought of all Q has told me, it couldn't have been all done in whispers, because he showed me what the boy told him it looked like. He said, he did this mom..... and that is when he showed his chest and rubbed it. (I think he did it to himself, not to Q, and that is what he is imitating)
For years I have predicted that once he knew anything about sex that it would be really hard to get him to be appropriate. If this is the beginning, I am in for it. I'm going to have to ask our home psychiatric for ideas and try to derail this.
Just s*cks.
