:shocker: That IS really scary that she thinks he is on track.

It's a really hard decision. I rambled at length in the Secular Confessions thread about my own concerns with my 13 year old...

As far as preschool goes, I understand what you were getting at hoping someone at the preschool would have a talk with her about testing. In my experience as the one who actually does the testing on...

That's exactly why I think the right label is critical. These poor little aspie kids. Seems like many of them spend much of their childhoods before anyone figures out what the problem is and how to...

I agree she should explore all her options before making a big decision like that.

I think he would have just finished kinder this year. I used to chat with his teacher about him when he was still in preschool but haven't heard how he is doing now. She loved him, said he was the...

Yes, this. My sister speaks fluent Japanese and landed a several management jobs in Manhattan companies with no business degree (or business experience before she took the first job) based solely...

That kid was a riot!

No, I haven't, but ironically just now (actually 4 minutes ago) I got forwarded a finalized evaluation report for a kid who just completed evaluation by the summer team and will apparently be...

LOL! I'm picturing Jumping Jack Flash. Cute.

Oh, man, Bridget, that reminds me we had a little guy that we tested who was obsessed with super heros. He would wake up each day and decide to be a...

That's so cute. I bet he would be a really adorable kid to work with, actually. Not all of them are so easily compliant. Doesn't sound to me as though he will need speech for very long, which is a...

Ugh. I'm off work for the summer - so it stands to reason that I shouldn't be irritated by work stuff, right? Wrong.

Next year doing this community preschool think I'm going to have a brand new...

Yup. Where the lines cross is that I do feel like it's my job to make sure the kid can SAY Larry if he wants to. But after that, it's his decision.

That's exactly what I said. Everyone at work calls me Mandy, even the kids call me Miss Mandy. One of the admin assistants is Bibi - her legal name is Maelvy (pronounced with a Spanish accent...

Now, that's working in the trenches! My co-worker managed a group home when she was first married. She has some wild stories to tell. She loved it, until one of the young men (in his 20s with Down...

I meant to respond to this earlier and then got de-railed by the revenge/traps discussion. Must be my Asperger's getting in the way. :P

Did the school use the terms IEP or RTI with you? They...

Yay, I'm not alone! What is it you do?

Oh, and welcome!

I'm not worried. Don't forget, also, that until 24 months you use adjusted age for preemies, which puts Nolan at less than 22 months. He's fine. Tif is right, as an SLP I don't worry much about...

I did say sometimes for revenge (thinking about), but no for traps. So I guess I'm not creepy.

I can't believe I'm the only one of us who came out so high on the aspie test. I thought you girls...

Well, according to this I have Asperger's:

Your Aspie score: 128 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 86 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

I don't know how accurate it is, though....

:hugs: those are big questions. I think in this room you will find that none of us have the answers, but we all share your sense of frustration.

Thanks, L, I'll check that out. And possibly take it myself. :)

I didn't even notice another secular post. Off to investigate.

Great news!

So I was looking on you tube to see if maybe I could find a good video to show by brother and almost SIL and found this:...

You were probably totally involved with your drama with the store and didn't even notice. How annoying about the bed.

My mom was saying she got a speeding ticket for the first time in her life at...

I see what you are saying. Often people will pick up on kid's names as one of the first things to work on just to make life easier. I have known kids that couldn't say their names and yes, it's an...
