This made me giggle. Maybe I should suggest it to her--LOL! She has had no interest any any of my "this is what works best with DS" so far. smile I think she experiences it as an affront. That's another thing that does not compute for me. I've begun to think I have my own ASD traits since things that don't make sense drive me batty.

There is def. no ASD in myself or family (there is plenty of other stuff, though) and I completely agree with you. I don't think it is an ASD thing to think that this attitude in a teacher does not make sense.
