UPDATE: back-to-school night, DS showed me the spider. LOL

A) It is literally a few inches from his right arm, on a window sill, his desk is banked next to the wall.

B) It is not a brown recluse, but a happy little jumpy spider--he begged me not to kill it and of course I wouldn't. (He is only afraid of things that can hurt him.)

He just needed reassurance. Why is all of this so difficult for adults to understand? It took 20 seconds--problem solved. I wish teachers could understand him better and realize that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...I know that his communication problems interfere.
