[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't have a diagnosis yet, just that some issues have been flagged for additional screening. My husband is not at all cool about everything. He's very angry. I've tried to calm him down but he's spiraling at the mention of any kind of accommodations.

Anyone else BTDT? Fwiw he's usually a very cool headed person. He's never once been this way about friends, family, etc with special needs. [/quote]

He’s grieving the kid he thought he had and it’s coming out badly. Probably also has heard or seen other people in his life dismiss the need for accommodations for other kids with SNs and is having trouble with the fact that his kid will need them and is feeling shame and confusion. Time can help along with patience and giving him space but at the same time, let him know you expect him to eventually pull it together. [/quote]

Which I totally get, but I need him to not walk into a meeting with the school refusing "labels" or "accommodations" that our child might need.

It also irritates me because we have a child that has accommodations for other reasons and he's never gotten angry about it because that child is extremely brilliant. [/quote]

He was probably much more able to accept and/or justify that one because of the brilliance. I’m sorry that this is so tough and I’d be mad too. [/quote]
