[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 607521, member: 15799"] Absolutely! That was one of the reasons I had such difficulty with the local public school. When he DID act up, they were convinced he was just being defiant and treated him with a heavy hand ("show him who's boss"). When he's around people he's comfortable with and have similar interests, he is so "normal" but with strange people and in strange situations, his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is very apparent. I agree with the therapists advice but with an exception. I will step in if it's unfamiliar people and/or unfamiliar situations. How else is he going to learn to speak up for himself if he doesn't know what's appropriate and what isn't in these kinds of situations? Us speaking for them teaches them this skill. In our house, we process it afterwards and come up with what difficult child 1 could have said in different situations so he's prepared for the next time. You're doing great. I hope the transition isn't too hard on him. Make sure they are aware of what he needs to become more comfortable there. Hopefully they will work WITH him. [/QUOTE]
