[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are letting your daughter off too easily. She knew she wasn't supposed to use that calculator which is why she showed it to the teacher. She just expected she would get special treatment and that the rules did not apply to her. Hmm wonder why that is?[/quote] You know that how? My sons teacher said, "one more word and you will sit in the hallway." he said one more word because he wanted to sit in the hallway. That is how his brain works. He did not understand the problem. He does not understand idioms, sarcasm, etc. I believe she thought using a calculator but not using all the functions was not wrong. It's logical to me. They should just do a retest.[/quote] Precisely! Aspie kids or ADHD kids do NOT get sarcasm. My Aspie son sees everything in black and white. Very legalistic. Sarcasm goes right over their head. They see everything literally. Idioms, symbolism, metaphors are totally lost on them.[/quote]
