[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop blaming the autism and create higher expectations for your child. Sounds like that’s what the teachers are trying to do but you’re getting in their way. [/quote]

Are you a school administrator by any chance?

This has been the tone we get from school administrators who think 100% of everything is due to the euphemism for bad parenting “behavioral.”

Yes I AM 100% the cause of my child’s disabilities. On my vision board before my wedding I  specifically put “many miscarriages”, have “kid with Genetic Issue“ and “Premature with restricted blood flow, 29 weeks or bust.”  And I manifested it. The universe was listening! (Sarcasm)

So crazy, some stuff is medical. It’s beyond anyone’s control.

Grieving and acceptance look different for all of us. You are not alone. SN parenting is hard. AND at the same time, not everyone is out to shame you about parenting. Behavioral is not a code word for X type of parenting. In fact, you don't have to use "behavioral" you can look at it as executive functioning and emotional self regulation challenges. These are real for many of our kids and can make a huge difference for them if handled well.  I've recently come across a story (i think on this board even) about a SN son whose mother moved earth and planets and spent her retirement resources to give him education - a college degree, graduate school and doctorate in a niche area of physics. This is where it ended, after he completed his education he couldn't work anywhere - couldn't function in a workplace at all and ended up eventually working as assistant mechanic in a car shop with a somewhat understanding boss.  I don't know if this is a SN urban legend or a true story, but think about the end game for your child. Is an overaccommodating educator really what she needs?[/quote]
