My dd(12 y aspie) had counseling last night but before we got there she handed

me a envelope and said that this was for her counselor from her special ed

teacher. Being me i read it.

The note starts with some things dd could work on. It then progresses to say

that during writing class the teacher played a song while they were writing and

dd happened to recall the time and place she heard it and felt she had to share

w/sp ed teacher. She called sp ed teacher over and told the story. She reminded

her to stay on task and that she had many other students to help. (Her exact

words). These are the sp ed teachers words. " After class, she approached the

writing teacher and began to tell him the long story. This teacher had other

student coming in and this wasn't a good time to tell her long story. It seems

she frequently stops at the teachers desk after class and wants to talk.This is

a dreaded time for her teachers . i would like to see her learn to receive

social cues in these situations. "

I took offense to this and the counselor thought it was unusual for the teachers

to dread to talk to her. This is a 12 yold that at the last minute this year,

wanted to go to public school,

She has no friends and craves to just talk with someone. If they dread to see my

dd come to talk , i am not sure that they are the right educators for my child.

I guess i am a bit ticked that people would actually say that. I must be a sad

bitter person but i am a mother bear. Thanks for letting me vent.
