One of my favorites and so true. I'd like to know real the story of Youtube millionaires...I bet behind behind every one of them are some people with autism who are obsessively watching the videos over and over.

I love these! My personal favorite is “Don’t worry. God doesn’t give you what you can’t handle.” That one makes me die laughing every time. ?????

Let’s revive this one for back to school- please.

This is what my IEP meetings look like as soon as I start asking questions about services. I ask politely and respectfully and then get a series of ambiguous answers so I call a meeting and an army shows up. How bout you just answer questions honestly and do what you are supposed to instead. And they wonder why people hire lawyers.

When this happens I am the parent who in the introduction part of the meeting I ask each person their role and purpose for attending the meeting and then restate what they said in terms of the services they can speak about or approve/ disapprove. The best was when the district person said that she was just “visiting different schools to get a sense of IEP meetings” and she has shown up at every single one of ours.

Thank you to the PP who bumped this thread. I needed it this morning as I go into parents teacher conferences for my kids.

OK this is how a lot of professional suggestions go. My suggestion to professionals is to say "Here are some ideas. They may or may not end up being right for your child. I understand if you don't plan to try them." The seasoned profressionals who are parents themselves often are more laid back and down to earth with their suggestions. The green ones are more likely to make expensive suggestions as though they are prescriptions. You buy some ridiculous whatever or you do something simple like get sand and put it in a plastic container to have in your basement on rainy days ?! The expensive sh&t was a waste and they get defensive when you share what happened. The sand is all over the basement and you are still vacuuming it up months later and she gets defensive when you explaqin why sand indoors is not a good idea.

Thanks to who ever revived this thread. I have gone to sleep since Wednesday night stressed over what to do next for my child. And wake up at 5 with the same overwhelming sense.
