[quote=Anonymous]We get it from both ends. I have one child who is on the mild end of ASD and one child who is at the other end for LDs. For the child with ASD it is either denial of the diagnosis and assumption that he is far worse than he is- until they have spent a certain amount of time with him in a variety of venues. For the child with LDs, people generally think his success means that his disability is mild and they question his need for his accommodations- when in fact it is from a ton of work on his part as well as his accommodations. I am not sure that there is anything we can do about it. People make assumptions based on their experiences and the likelihood of most people getting enough of a variety of experiences with children with a specific SN is low. [/quote]
