Sometimes, I see intro letters to teachers from ASD moms written with an emotional undercurrent of mistrust, resentment, and elitism and I wonder what the mom thinks that will achieve. It's like they've already made up their mind that the teacher is awful and won't cooperate based on perhaps valid past experience, but past is the key word there. The relationship has already started out sour. I try very hard to not do that. I try to just offer up some facts and hope for the best!Quiet Contemplationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667867394641955283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-42125311860158003742012-09-01T22:30:37.756-05:002012-09-01T22:30:37.756-05:00This is great.

You've also set the tone for consistency between home and school, which will allow Bubby to function better, and also not allow him to create problems for himself or the teacher. All Autistic kids should start school with a note like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-2587024760808946132012-08-22T08:59:12.103-05:002012-08-22T08:59:12.103-05:00Thanks!

I especially like the description of meltdowns and shutdowns, I would not have thought to include that!<br /><br />Thank you for the useful info!<br /><br />LoriLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02454258188873701413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-22038450060019895152012-08-20T18:11:03.536-05:002012-08-20T18:11:03.536-05:00Our school has a folder that every teacher puts to...Our school has a folder that every teacher puts together for any subs that come into the room, so I do think all subs do see it, but whether they pay attention or care is another story. We live in a small town with a pretty good network of teachers, so I can't complain, too much.<br /><br />They have little cards that people with ASD can put in their wallets for issues with the police. I think Bubby would respond pretty well, though. Beans, not as much, but it's obvious within seconds that he's autistic.Quiet Contemplationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667867394641955283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053855593846713089.post-35285920187618981842012-08-20T16:06:01.955-05:002012-08-20T16:06:01.955-05:00Thanks for sharing!

Good point on the substitutes….I wonder if it actually gets to them?<br /><br />This made me think of an issue I've worried about but done nothing about…..police officers. What would happen, do you think, if a police officer barked directions at your son and he didn't respond in an expected way? <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601210018339316112noreply@blogger.com
