[QUOTE="SRL, post: 187114, member: 701"] Just to play devil's advocate here--I think it's good sometimes to recall that there is a different perspective when one hasn't walked in your shoes. You know about difficult child kids, you know more about Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) than even the child's mother does. Sometimes kids [B][I]do[/I][/B] misbehave because they're being bratty. I don't know that it would be a good thing if the general public became so sensitive that it would think "disorder" every time they see a misbehaving or tantruming kid. Even though I'm a parent of a difficult child, I'm getting a taste of the other side of the fence through my easy child daughter. She started school this week and a change has been made to full inclusion. My daughter is a good kid/excellent student who (to her frustration) is often seated where she can be a buffer to others who are talkers, behavioral problems, etc. So she comes home the first day and tells me that on one side she has a boy who is very ADHD and a huge behavioral problem. On her other side she has one of the kids who was moved in with the new inclusion program and he never stops moving/talking and is constantly trying to copy off her paper. I have enough background to sympathize with what's going on here and I'm frustrated for her because the rights of others mean the educational setting isn't in her best interests. She's generally the most emphathetic kid when it comes to children with special needs so I know she's going nuts. Can you just imagine what a parent who doesn't have the background would be feeling?
