[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to ba[b]t for a boy who keeps forgetting his math homework because he's rushing to get to his EC/safety patrol[/b], seems to be a bit misguided.  Would pausing/stopping safety patrol be punishment for his disability, or would it be acknowledgement that it's a responsibility that he is not yet ready for?  Would plowing through objections for the sake of his sense of self and sense of engagement in the school be the right thing to do, for him?  [/quote]

Yes, but the underlying reason he is forgetting something while he’s rushing to safety patrol is because of his ADHD.  Plenty of other NT kids are probs rushing to safety patrol and yet don’t forget their homework.

It is a part of the stigma and discrimination against people with ADHD that they are called out for their failures due to their disability which are mischaracterized as lack of motivation, irresponsibility, laziness, immaturity, sense of entitlement or using a disability excuse to get what they otherwise couldn’t get or a sense that an accommodation is “unfair” to other students.

In the same way, parents of ADHD kids are often called out as being bad parents and making excuses for their kids, protecting them from necessary consequences or punishments and in that way stunting their growth, being helicopter parents, or believing Larlo is a special snowflake, etc.

I see a lot of that going on in this thread
