This is all really excellent perspective - thank you and I hope you comment more here! My only caveat is that sometimes the child actually does have a valid additional perspective of the facts that the teacher does not have. This doesn’t mean that the upshot is any different (kid may not have coping skills required for the setting) but plenty of times my kid was able to fill in more details about what actually happened when the teacher just said “he just snapped all of a  sudden!” Kids on the spectrum are usually pretty honest so they are not going to actually lie even if their perspective is partial. You may work with younger kids or less verbal kids than mine though. [/quote]

DP. Honest? Yes. Self-absorbed or self-centered and oblivious, also yes; that's what social and communication difficulties means. It means not understanding what is going on around you, and how it relates to you, and how you relate to it.

Your DC can tell you their perspective.  But don't mistake that for what actually happened.[/quote]
