Aleysha didn’t listen.

“I decided, they (the school) had 12 years,” she says. “Now it’s my time.”

Ridiculous. She has no reason to blame anyone if she didn’t choose to stay. They already promised to help, but she didn’t want help. She just wanted fame and cash. I am horrified by the stupidity of whomever called her a feminist icon. A feminist icon would have trashed the help and worked twice as hard to catch up. [/quote]

Or she wanted national attention on issues that so many other kids are dealing with? Which she is not getting. Why do you think this is resonating with some many people? Because it’s happens way too often. She unlike you isn’t only looking out for herself.[/quote]

Read the freaking list of ODD symptoms.  She has been officially diagnosed with not GAF about anyone else, being an a-hole, and blaming others for her own mistakes.  Those are literally the symptoms of her disability.[/quote]

Do you always blame children when adults fail them or when they have a disability?[/quote]

I don't consider being a Grade A hole a disability.  I'm suprised that you do.[/quote]

The only grade a hole is you calling a child with a disability a grade a hole. I know cruelty is in right now and she is brown but at least try to pretend that you have a soul. [/quote]

1. Often loses temper
2. Is often touchy or easily annoyed
3. Is often angry and resentful
4. Often argues with authority figures or, for children and adolescents, with adults
5. Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules
6. Often deliberately annoys others
7. Often blames others for their own mistakes or misbehavior
8. Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past six months

What do you call someone that demonstrates that list of behaviors?[/quote]

She has a disability. Even you admit that. Kids with disabilities often develop these symptoms. It’s not at all usual for a child who is struggling so much at school to develop ODD. Please go educate yourself before you spew any more hate towards a disabled child. [/quote]

ODD is not a disability.  It is nothing more than a bonafide a hole certification.

There are a lot of a holes in the world including an especially prominent one right now.  I do not think they have a disability.  And I most certainly don't think that that a piece of paper gives them the right to be an a hole.  Do you?[/quote]

Where did I say ODD was her disability? Please stop calling a child a hole. You lose (actually you already lost) all credibility when you do that. She has learning disabilities and as a result she also developed ODD. You know nothing about learning disabilities or how children who grow up with them cope. You just know how to be a grade a hole yourself. [/quote]
