You took the words out of DS6's mouth! He stated verbatim, "Our desks are set up like big kids so that anyone walking by would look in our room and think we were doing big kid work but we're really doing baby work." So, what can public school do for us besides add to his sensory issues? Compounding the issues is that he also says that the other kids just aren't very nice. He says that their main form of entertainment is describing other people's failings. "I saw a lady yesterday who was fat and ugly with ugly teeth." He says that he just doesn't find that funny and yet, that's all these kids talk about. I view this heightened morality as a sign of good parents (he he) and also maturity, yet the school views lack of interest in socializing with his "peers" as a sign of autism and/or immaturity. Sigh.
