Saw this thread and it made me join and get off the sideline. I would guess this mostly comes off as venting but sometimes thats all I can do.
Autistic adhd kid. Mid to high functioning (aspergers) and huge social handicaps. Anyways, the dude is entering 6th grade this year and its obvious to us that its not working in public in a giant school district. We finally made the decision to pull him and find a new school for him. For anybody change is rough but for this particular little brain its an impossible thing to comprehend. We apply to a school that we think is a good fit but he has to shadow for a day before he is allowed to attend. And he just fucking tanks it. Acts like a belligerent asshole all day. He's not asked to return. Fucking humiliating to just get told not to come back.
Fast forward 2 weeks, and he is somehow already failing just about all of his classes in 6th grade. The last year of his life seems to have been marked with many steps of regression and our plans as parents just seem to be falling apart. We are just lost right now. I just need a minute to be sad/mad and i will get up and keep fighting but fuck the last 2/3 weeks have sucked.
Thanks for the space to vent.
