[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 388513, member: 1991"] I am not surprised at the revelation of the teacher's response. I'm sorry, but it is confirmation of what I suspected - this is sounding like she is unwittingly triggering him with her attitude and it is only going to get worse until she gets it. I know you don't want to consider Asperger's, but it is what I see, at least to the level of some traits even if not enough for a diagnosis formally. It would explain a great deal and also make a very effective working hypothesis. A lot of ADHD kids have this partial crossover and similarity, and respond to similar methods as Aspie kids. Often respond really, really well to the point of eventually adapting completely and masking the symptoms almost completely. I can attest to this from personal experience - my now-adult kids. Some teachers really annoy me when they have the attitude of "I've been teaching for all these years, don't you try to tell me ow to do my job," when clearly they have not updated their training, their reading or their curriculum materials for decades. Sounds like your son's teacher could be in this category? Marg [/QUOTE]
