Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Advice with HW refusal / accommodations

Your DS has my sympathy. I can see how this would be a difficult assignment for a variety of reasons.

I understand the sentiment "something is better than nothing." However, the report your DS produced seems fairly far from the purpose of the assignment. Understanding how an author develops a character by drawing on real world inspiration is a worthy exploration. It might be valuable for your DS to answer questions such as, "What would this person think/say/do in this situation?" but I can also see how difficult this might be for someone on the spectrum.

I guess my point is to ask the teacher about the purpose of this assignment & use this information when suggesting a suitable substitute, if necessary. Good luck!
