[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I rarely post here anymore because more because the misinformation and posts that seem "anti" the special needs person. I have been on this board for many many years. The Advice used to center around what was best for the child. Now it seems there is still some of that but more and more there are so many posts that support "parental prerogative" or to do what makes the parent feel good in the moment. There is also a poster who I hope is only one very active person, and they seem to take every opportunity to make disparaging comments about special needs people.

But the main reason I don't post here or read this board at all very much, is because there is almost never discussions about new ideas. It always seems to go back topics that have been asked and answered many times. You could just search for your question and read the archive . [/quote]

thisssss.
There's a general vibe that seems to sit in a space of like - any kind of special needs child or any child with any remotely undesirable behaviors should understand that they are a huge inconvenience to, and undesirable to, other children and families and it's the OP's job to remove them and 'correct' the heck out of them until they become 'digestible'. I have one SN kid and one none and short of a kid biting or being aggressive or repeatedly mean, I always teach both my kids to try to see the person's pov and if their behavior is non optimum, what might be going on, maybe give a second chance. even if a kid is aggressive i assume that the parents or the school or the camp are dealing, unless it really obviously is not.
