I have referred to my child, whom trust me I love, respect, and value deeply, in these discussions as my “IEP child” to differentiate from my child without one. Not a big deal at all. Quit trying to turn everything into a PC issue. So ridiculous

I’m the parent ranting in this chain that my autistic child was passed over in this lottery, and I’ve referred to “my IEP kid” as well.

Seriously? You are both monsters. Ask your children when they are older how they felt about you labeling them this way. Jesus.

It's an entire threat about kids with IEPs, because it is clearly pertinent to the wider discussion. Seriously, find something else to be offended by.

My child has autism. She knows it and is a strong self-advocate about her needs.

When she’s older I suspect she’ll appreciate that I fiercely fought for her to get the very best services throughout her childhood—through wide-ranging private therapies, as well as at school — yes, through an IEP.

Hopefully she won’t regard her disability as a scarlet-letter. That’s what I wish for my child and all children with IEPs.

But if that makes me a monster I’ll own it.
