[quote=Anonymous]When I see "tolerate neurodiversity until behavior is a problem, then it's strict discipline" I have to cringe. No, you are not tolerating or supporting neurodiversity if you think ND students can fit a strictly dictated mold like NT kids. And trying to pound ND kids into shape is like screaming at a thunderstorm. Total waste of time. Makes it worse, in fact. The kid spirals and tunes out or flips out. That does NOT mean accepting loud disruptions, theft, bullying, or violence. That's not what mild neurodiversity brings with it. But trouble paying attention, exhaustion from masking, inability to answer cold-calling questions on the spot, poor executive functioning, awkward social skills, etc. are all par for the course. Neurodiversity is a complicated grab bag of issues and challenges. Any school that thinks "extra time" is a magic cure all should NOT accept ND kids, nor should their parents try to keep them there. for everyone's sake. IYKYK[/quote]
