[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or do you always feel like you have to be on high alert because your kid’s school or extracurriculars are going to hurt them? Our son is 10, an only child, 2E autistic with dysgraphia and apraxia, and I have never felt like his schools or extras are entirely safe places. Teachers don’t implement his 504. The school drags its feet and fights our lawyer to delay the IEP it finally admitted he qualifies for, and it will not staff. Privates he has been in have failed to supervise the kids and he has fallen down stairs and been left behind on field trips. [b]Kids at karate call him names. [/b] Is it just always like this? Do you ever feel like your kid is safe? If so, where? Feeling so lost and sad. Is it just always this way?[/quote] OP, switch to a different karate (or taekwondo or fencing or whatever) school immediately. Our martial arts studio is a welcoming place and there is no name-calling, and I'm shocked to see your post. In many martial arts studios, there are probably a very high percentage of ADHD or ND people (it is one of the first recommendations to parents of ND children to enroll their children in martial arts), so your DC will be one of many, the way my kids, one with ASD and one with ADHD, are.
