[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think schools should say: If your child has a medical condition that prohibits wearing a mask, your child's medical condition clearly should keep him home. Enjoy the distance learning.

You're a jerk.  My kids are absolutely going to wear masks and they can.  But many people with autism and other disabilities truly can't due to sensory issues.  My BIL, who is an adult with ASD, is struggling with this tremendously.  He's going to wear a face shield when he returns to work, but the reason he can tolerate it with practice is in part because he's a grown man.  Are you saying all kids with genuine disabilities that would prevent them from wearing a mask at school should stay home?  Aren't those some of the kids who need in person services most?[/quote]

That’s exactly my thought. My kid is one of those kids. He needs to be in school but may have trouble with the mask. I’m going to possibly get him a shield.[/quote]

A shield does not do the same thing.  Documented asd would be a medical condition for a exemption but parent diagnosed sensory is not.  Plenty of time to find a comfortable one. [/quote]

Thank you, mask police. It’ll be between me and our school. Luckily we do have a documented diagnosis (Nope, not ASD) and an IEP. I am confident my school will allow a shield.[/quote]

A shield is worthless.  Just get an exception and be done with it.  However the other kids may make fun them.  Just get a fake mask with one piece of cotton where they can breath through it and get them used to it now.[/quote]
