[QUOTE="ML, post: 433451"] Thanks you guys. If there actually was funding for accommodations in our state (which is 48 out of 50 in terms of supports in this area) I might be pushing harder. How funny LDM that you said that about taking giving permission to take a way an accommodation. Manster threw a fit in 5th grade that his teacher told him he had extra time on testing because he felt I didn't believe in him. He was so angry that I didn't have more confidence in him. There was no talking him out of it and truly, extra time isn't something he needs. If anything he needs to slow down; he's fast and sloppy lol. So I sent the permission slip to disallow it. Thank you everyone for weighing in on this. It's something that has been heavy on my heart. I suppose I'll play the waiting game and not try to force him out of his denial for now and hope that with time he comes to accept this. I have felt in a way like I'm failing him but not insisting he accept this. I try so hard to explain about this diagnosis as it applies to my stepsister and others we know. He knows that to have AS is to have special gifts and intelligence. I really pump up the good stuff. I don't understand it. If I could find a reason/diagnosis to explain something that summed up why I felt a certain way I would jump at it. So for now the waiting game it is. I appreciate the support very much. [/QUOTE]
