[QUOTE="Verucalise, post: 418568, member: 11616"] Thank you, DDD. I appreciate the validation. This teacher also approached me with the sweetest demeanor; all about DS attitude. I'm still confused as to why, if this particular teacher believed my DS has Aspergers, why she NEVER approached me about any problems in the past. She's been working with DS for well over a year, since 2nd grade. I approached the principal about testing in 11/2010 as my DS's homeroom teacher took a leave of absence and I didn't know who to approach. It was forwarded onto Teacher A, who only then, AFTER I requested testing, started long, in depth discussions about DS and possible Asperger's. Even at that time, she was unwilling to cooperate with my points of view. I'd tell her that although I firmly believed it wasn't Aspergers, I would pursue any testing the psychiatric exam shows is needed. And look. She spoke to the psychologist about possible Aspergers and BAM! The test recommended it be done. I don't have a problem with Aspergers, by the way. I have a problem with a teacher going beyond what is requested in terms of testing to prove her point. I don't want my DS labeled with something he doesn't have, as that could be counterproductive to what he REALLY needs. [/QUOTE]
