[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say that my experience with teachers is typically the opposite.  They are going above and beyond to make accommodations and use such coded language that it’s hard to figure out what’s actually going on.  I definitely heard the “brilliant loner” thing from a few teachers with my autistic child.  It wasn’t until I started just dropping in at the school to drop off “forgotten” items that I saw that my son had on noise cancelling headphones and a weighted blanket and was not participating in the classroom activities.

Oh wow, that's so frustrating.

I sometimes feel like we are going through this now with my DD but with Covid I can't just drop by the classroom randomly. It's impossible to know if the teachers are being straightforward or sugar coating. You wind up having to just follow your gut as a parent, which is why OP's comments just don't ring true for me. We've had great teachers but I think they are somewhat limited in what they can offer in terms of insight when it comes to spectrum disorders specifically. They are with 12-15 kids every day, they have limited ability to focus in on one child and really make an assessment. In the end it's your responsibility as a parent and the teacher is just one input, not the final authority.[/quote]
