[quote=Anonymous]I totally hear you. I have an ASD kid with "behaviors." He has improved so much with therapy and figuring out what works best for him. However, practically no SN school will take him because he does still yell when frustrated (swear words, occasional nonsensical threats -- loud and growling), and throw objects or knock furniture over. Not good at all and we are working hard to extinguish those remaining behaviors, but for whom is a SN school designated? Or camp? Almost all say they won't take any sort of physical aggression. Honestly, it's not even aggression anymore, because it's not directed at a person, more a situation, but who wants to take that chance.

Don't even get me started on mothers of peers. They wrote him off years ago. Teachers don't want him around. He's been lucky to have some wonderful SN teachers and aides over the years, thank goodness. Why are you going to go into teaching if you're going to absolutely ignore 1 child in your classroom?

And, BTW, I swear I'm not in denial. We have worked HARD on this for years. We can see now where his meltdowns used to occur because now he just cries or curls up in a ball or covers his head with his hands. The triggers are so small and innocent and they are just too much for him. Not to mention big triggers like him being hit or pushed to the ground. School can be such a toxic environment. I'm proud of the amount of progress he has made in emotional regulation. He's a good person and he didnt' like that part of himself. Unfortunately it's still on his paperwork.[/quote]
