[QUOTE="EStephens, post: 548285, member: 15028"] The visit with the principal and counselor went AWESOME!!! They wanted to talk to difficult child about school, home, and his hobbies. They even sat through a 10 minute talk about Legend of Zelda (he is an expert about it) and they asked questions so they could understand it. They never minimalized or talked down to him. difficult child was a trooper and he answered all of their questions and even asked them some. I had a sheet printed out that explained some of our "funness" and the principal asked if he could copy it and give to the teachers. The counselor thanked me for making the list. The counselor also made a spot just for difficult child in her office and a spot on her shelf for a box of things that can calm him or redirect him!! We took a tour of the school and he stimmed very minimally. He asked questions and only changed subjects a few times. difficult child was a gentleman and shook everyone's hand (even the receptionist) and thanked them for their time. He may have just been mimicking me but I was one proud momma. And at the end he gave the principal a hug. That was HUGE for difficult child because he has only a handful of people he trusts enough to hug and the principal earned his trust in like 45 minutes. And that is the first time I have ever seen that happen. Thank you Lord for favor!!! [/QUOTE]
