[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 69131, member: 1991"] CJ, you go girl, with that book. I'm also working on one with difficult child 3, on how I've had to break the rules so often because nothing we were told to do, was actually correct. My personal opinion - I believe that large organisations, especially state-based, and education facilities in particular, are autistic. They meet the criteria really well - they have difficulties with communication; they have major difficulties with social interaction (often inappropriate) and an intense focus on meticulous detail in ways which turn out to be basically unproductive and meaningless. Obsessive-compulsive in the extreme. Plus they often have disordered sensory issues especially with input, narrowing their focus down to the level where they can cope. For example, you tell them things and if they're not completely ready to hear what you have told them, they forget it immediately and deny they were ever told. As with those with autism, putting it in writing is a good defence for this problem. I also apply Ross Greene's techniques to these large bureaucracies. It really helps. Marg [/QUOTE]
