Based on who's definition? Where did you wander in here from? Isn't that also true of the low ses kids statistically speaking? And the kids of non college educated moms? Should teachers only teach the wealthy kids? You are ridiculous. Many kids in special Ed graduate from high school. Many kids with autism have extremely high iqs and could go on to do any number of things. Many kids with ADHD function much better on meds. Some kids blossom with good supports. The whole point that it is all futile because they are uneducable is the problem. My god, I hope you have nothing all to do with any children, and I feel awful for your own. [/quote]

This may be true, but I rather agree with the pp that many kids will plateau early.  However, it's no reason to be condescending to them.  Unfortunately, I think the brunt of the workload may burn out more therapists and teachers who care more quickly.  The ones that don't will last.[/quote]

That's a HUGE generalization. I'm not quite willing to accept that my 4.5 year old will plateau early because he's struggled with certain things up until this point. When are we supposed to just assume it will plateau? God that's bleak. [/quote]
