[QUOTE="Malika, post: 543767, member: 11227"] Yes, I'm sure you're right, SuZir. I was reacting really to the extreme annoyance/upset of this woman last night, thinking things must be really serious for her to be in such a state. And what this is telling me, also, is that in any situation there are a myriad of different "truths", different viewpoints. For example... last night the male worker was making this BIG deal about J not play fighting and getting really cross with him when he and the other boy were gently wrestling with each other, in front of me and the director. And this morning when I talked to him (he was there briefly before going off somewhere else for the day), when I said I had talked to J about not fighting, he said "oh, well, just not TOO much anyway, not TOO hard". Big difference from yesterday... because (presumably) the director is not there. Everything is always a whole combination of influences, realities. I just seize on my little bit of it - J - but the reality is a much bigger picture, involving lots of other elements (that are also shifting and changing!) I don't think he really stands out at this place as being especially naughty or difficult, unlike his tiny school where he does much more... Of course, parents of kids with differences always have a tendency to over-focus on the differences, probably blaming them for too much. Do you think? :) [/QUOTE]
