[QUOTE="buddy, post: 469669, member: 12886"] We have this for difficult child, it is a great accomodation for kids who have trouble writing and typing. One sp. ed. teacher and an Occupational Therapist (OT) I worked with said that often esp. with aspies, they are seeing that it is not the fine motor or visual motor issues always, it can just be the transition between our talking language/thoughts to putting it into the written form. they can often do much better work. sorry, that was a side line, we like it and it is easy. OK, about the family/friends....yup that stinks. Even the family that does acknowledge it in my situation, some still dont fully get it. When difficult child was in 1st grade and I was (same story different place) fighting the system, I had no one to come with me to the IEP and they could be really rude. I asked my dad to come even though he didn't get it at all. WELL, after hearing THEM say what was wrong with him...my my my...he started telling everyone like HE was the expert. I had to laugh. It was so funny. One guy in a store yelled at my difficult child for talking rude to me and my dad stepped between us and said to the guy he doesn't know the full story and to leave us alone. I couldn't believe it. IT was a rare moment in my life iwth family and friends. I am so glad you are here....it does help to share. You are doing the right thing. Everything you say about just hearing about an issue and going with it to make sure you cover all the bases makes perfect sense. You are open to whatever it ends up being in the future but now this is how you can get him his services so there you go....awesome mom! [/QUOTE]
