oh Lu.... I have tears in my eyes and stomach in my mouth.... I can't imagine how hard this is for you! How hard to hear that he isn't fitting in to the best place possible for him! BUT I LOVE the teachers attitudes, that they love him and want him back, what an awesome place.

See, we would be in a similar position if M reacted the same way at her school, they just don't have the ability to have one on one time with these kids all day. They are nuturing and more involved, but they just don't have the capacity that larger schools have. I'm so glad there's somewhere he can get some intense help NOW.

My BIL used to have teachers pass him around all day in Primary School. My friends mum was one of the teachers there & he used to get passed around because the teachers would bring him into the next class and say "I've had enough, I can't do this". My MIL has no idea that this happened to him in primary school. My friends mum used to take him all the time with her, she thought he was a lovely kid with heaps of energy and enthusiasm for what he liked, but he was misunderstood" Unfortunately, she wasn't there his entire education.... but she remembers him well. My BIL has asperger's and only got diagnosed this last year, he went through most of his life thinking that he was "evil" or "bad" because that was what adults tended to label him as.

Thank goodness mindsets are changing and people are becoming educated.... for our kids sakes.... they won't be thought of as "evil" or "bad" just because they struggle with different things than "normal" kids do.
