So if a kid on chemo throws up in the class, do they have to apologize for disrupting the class?[/quote]

Kids throw up in class all the time. Chemo or not. It’s not usual for kids to tear up paper and yell during class. And I apologized just two days ago for vomiting in public after chemo.

So did a person in authority over you make you feel compelled to publicly apologize in front of a large group of people?  That's the issue here.  [/quote]

Nope, I did it out of respect for the people around me.[/quote]

If you can’t tell the difference between being an NT adult and apologizing because of throwing up due to chemo, and a nine year old ADHD/ASD child forced to apologize to the entire class for a (minor) meltdown possibly triggered by a badly implemented IEP … I dunno what to tell you.

PS you shouldn’t have apologized for throwing up either. You had CHEMO. Really it’s a telling example though- some people (generally women) have a near phobia level aversion to making any public disruption, which they can project onto other people as well. You don’t have to apologize for living. [/quote]
