[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for finding the limerick.  I am going to console myself with the fact that this time the meltdown didn’t involve biting. So that is progress.

I agree about the holds.  Last year the old head facilities guy worked with kids on the spectrum a lot at the YMCA and he would get to know them so when one was having a meltdown they would call him but he would just sit and be with the kids.  But he was a really big guy and could stop them from running or hold them when needed.  But he built the relationship first.  The guy there today is new and eager to be helpful but really wasn’t.

This event is going to be really rough to recover from trust wise.  My son actually asked if he could join the meeting to represent his own point of view.  I am not sure that is a great idea as he is still calling the people jerks for what they did to him today. He wants the principal to explain to everyone how he is supposed to get to take a break when he gets stuck.  Part of me is really proud, and the other part is horrified he is going to share this at school and make things harder for himself.

I am now getting texts from other parents whose kids tried to explain to the staff that my child just gets stuck sometimes and they tried to make him laugh by offering joke books/ favorite snacks etc. Several were really upset that they went to recess and left my child with people he didn’t know. It is crazy the kids know his  IEP better than the staff.

I think I need to find some wine.[/quote]
