[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 610925, member: 1550"] You're actually lucky. In our school, if anyone so much as breathed about a school shooting, they'd be gone. Make sure your son never talks that way to another student because if the kids tell their parents about it, the parents could freak out. I have an Aspie son and would never have sent him to an ED school. Autism is not an ED problem and the sort of systems they have in place for the ED kids not only don't work for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but are a challenge for all kids. My friend has been an aide in an ED classroom for over ten years and there is a lot of violence with kids acting out on staff and each other...noplace I'd ever send a non-violent Aspie. However, my son never spoke of violence or attacked anyone. And also staring at somebody is very un-Aspier-like. You sure he has the right diagnosis? At any rate, I think you need to call your state's Dept. of Public Education and ask to talk to the free special needs advocate covering your district. We contacted a lawyer and were told he couldn't do much and that it would be very expensive to try. You do need to go outside of your school district. The Superintendant, for example, is just the Head Honcho of your school district and is unlikely to upsurge anything they want to do. It can be very taxing to advocate for your kid's best interests, but I sure wouldn't try doing it within the school district itself if they are a stubborn one. With the Dept. of Education and an advocate we got the school change we wanted and free transportation to that school for my son and he has done very well in life so far. But the school district itself did not want to change him to the school we felt was best for him and it was a battle! [/QUOTE]
