[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you spent time with homeschool kids?

And, are you going to home-employ DC too? [b]Learning to deal with uncomfortable environments is a life skill. [/b]If your snowplow your kid to adulthood, don’t be surprised when they can’t deal in college, workplace, life. [/quote]

This is a silly argument.

I’m on the spectrum and I heard this my entire life. Yet as adult I’ve built a successful life that pretty much avoids all the uncomfortable and sensory triggers that everyone told me I needed to “learn” to deal with. I have a masters, I work in data analytics, I live in a nice house, I’m married and I have kids.

I never have to do the adult equivalent of navigating a school cafeteria, dance or football game. [/quote]

OP here-I meant to thank you for your perspective as an autistic person, a person with autism. [/quote]

If you read the books by Temple Grandin she’s pretty adamant about not over-accomodating kids.

Temple Grandin is great, but she is one person with autism. There are many voices in the autistic community, and they do not all agree with her.[/quote]
