[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Just so we are clear, there's more than 1 parent of an autistic kid defending our children here. I don't jump in at every opportunity to discuss my child and his problems. I was troubled by the PP who was so judgmental and yes I do personalize because I am often in a situation that could be taken as my child being a horrible spoiled brat and I'd like to think people in the world had more compassion than to actually be thinking that. Apparently I was incorrect. Luckily he doesn't go out much, partially because he feels so bad about himself when he has a meltdown such as what you were describing.

I didn't post anything else, but I'm glad [b]the 2 posters above were called out for their prejudiced, disgusting comments.[/b] Do you also make racist comments? I do take such comments personally because my son has to live in this world, as do all the other autistics kids, soon to be teenagers and adults and it's sad to know he'll have to deal with the likes of you. You are talking about children. I'm glad your child never cried to you about how he doesn't deserve to be on this earth. Maybe if he did, you would understand the use of anti-depression meds in children. It's a tough decision, but it can be the only thing that keeps our kids alive.

So, to be clear, [b]there are other parents of autistic kids sickened by your comments[/b]. Now, back to your regularly scheduled discussion of the relative merits of paying a school to make your child self-confident and self-aware vs realizing that that comes largely from home.[/quote]

Confused.  Whose comments are you referring to?  Are you sure there are only 2 posters?  You're mixing apples and oranges again.[/quote]

Oh I get where the hostilty is coming from. You are using your child's unfortunate condition to suggest that dealing with it makes you somehow a better parent and that people who choose private school are " paying someone else to make their child self-confient...instead of realising that that comes from home. This query is not about whether to private school OR NOT. This is the private school forum. One assumes that people on here are either interested in have kids in private school. I have an 8th grader and am looking at HS. I have a specific question. I am just trying to get feedback from parents of HS seniors or the seniors themselves on if theyr feel that their school challenged them to delve into themselves a bit. Naturally, that process takes courage and it builds confidence, but that is not the same as looking for a place to bestow same. I agree w/ PP who said that you are self -serving. This dialogue is NOT about you or autism. Please get some therapy.[/quote]

Wow.  Are you OP?  I don't think anyone here has suggested that being the parent of a child with a disability makes them a better parent.  All we'er asking is that you conduct your conversation without insulting our kids.  Pretty simply.  Please give it a shot.  I'm not sure I even understand this post, but thats been the issue since the beginning.[/quote]
