[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - no, I'm open to listening - never parented before so always helpful to hear how others managed and navigated this system and time of life[/quote] Ha ha you certainly don't have to tell us you've never parented before. It couldn't be more obvious.[/quote] Honestly, I think parents on here jumping all over OP that their kid needs to be tested when they are clearly describing classic behaviors of an intelligent child in an environment that isn't stimulating is crazy... I'm not going to tell OP not to test because it doesn't hurt, but I wouldn't assume that the kid is going to have anything necessarily from a diagnosis perspective...[/quote] OP has shared that her son is likely to lose focus on tasks he is bored doing. That is going to be an issue at any school. They are planning to send him to private school which will cost tens of thousands of dollars each year. Spending a few grand on an evaluation now could pay dividends and give them some clear information on what type of environment will work for their kid and what supports he might need to thrive socially.[/quote] Literally every 5 year old on the planet will loose interest when bored, and OP said they already had an evaluation... Again I'm not saying don't have your kid tested, but everyone jumping to "kid has autism/ADHD" waiting to happen is insane![/quote] Two posts in this thread have stated they think that this child will get a diagnosis. One of those used the phrase "waiting to happen" but was referring to the diagnosis, not "autism/ADHD" itself.[/quote] Uuuuuh I see at least 4 if you are being conservative, 5 if you count the person coming back to add more. Yea only one worded it exactly that way, but the teacher was pretty damn close and definitely jumping to her own conclusions that made me question her skills as a teacher...[/quote] Ok now you are just counting people who mention a diagnosis as a possibility which is quite different from your initial complaint. Sorry you find the mere mention of disabilities offensive, but that is a you problem.[/quote] Dude there is literally someone who said that OP clearly doesn't know how to parent. I didn't say mentioning disabilities was a problem, I just said people were being insane for jumping to it and called out a phrase you also found offensive... you brought up the counting. Maybe don't lump yourself into defending people you disagree with and you won't find yourself fighting with people who disagree them...[/quote] I actually don't find the phrase that poster used offensive. I found your misrepresentation of that quote offensive. You are the one lumping people together, not me. You started by saying "everyone" is insisting the OP's child will definitely get a diagnosis. Two posts on this thread have actually said that in some way. The poor parenting post is obviously ridiculous and not sure why you are bringing that up now as though I supported it. What the actual F is the matter with you?[/quote] The poor parenting post was literally the one they were responding to. What the F is actually the matter with you?[/quote]
