[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A significant number of these posts are extremely ableist. I would encourage the posters to reevaluate wrongly held prejudices. [/quote] Ableist is a meaningless word that is just used to attack other people.[/quote] I think this ableist language is actually at the detriment to special needs individuals. My DH has bad ADHD. He would never force his coworkers to put up with it or for it to be a problem for him. He makes lists, checks them twice, has timers, reminder apps, etc. He's really successful. In fact, it helps DH a lot at work. He has incredible focus on individual tasks (he's an engineer) that is characteristic of ADHD. Ableist means not making fun of someone or discriminating against someone. It doesn't mean that we should require kids to sit there while classmates tantrum on the floor, throw chairs and scream.
