[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a person with Tourettes Syndrome, I was very pro-disclosure. I was lucky enough to grow up in a supportive community and I found that even now giving the facts helps take the air out of anyone's snottiness, particularly if my tics are disrupting a situation. I would echo those who have suggested reaching out to the teacher/parents if possible to figure out what language they've been using with their child. I also think that thinking about strengths and weakness is helpful (though I'm not afraid of the word disability) as it helps NT kids as well as non NT kids to put themselves in context and think about how they can best learn and grow.

As the parent of a child with an "invisible" special need I would be put out by someone "reaching out" in in faux empathy. Seriously would you really ask a parent that? What kind of "language" do you use to describe your child's challenges? You seem to be lacking basic social skills.[/quote]

+1, no one wants another parent to email them saying "hey what's wrong with your kid so I can tell my kid what is wrong?"  In K, many parents are not going into details with their own kids about their needs.  I find the NT vs. non NT descriptions really offensive.  Is this the new trendy definition to put down SN kids?[/quote]
