Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi all: Well I got a note yesterday my 6 yr old aspie blessing took two classmates aside and pulled their loose teeth. Initially I thought she was helping them wiggle their teeth but no I found out today she actually helped them pull them OUT (ahahahha). I didn't know what to think at first but then thought about her attending some future school reunion and these girls say I remember when you.... Anyway today as I was picking up dd from school, the principal said he was going to call me and that he had dd in office to discuss the " tooth pulling " incident. I haven't heard from him yet but I am not even sure what to say. She has been diagnosed with severe ADHD and AS. My first inclination is to ask where were the teachers and assistant when this happened. My DD just can't be left unsupervised. She is very high functioning and in a regular ed classroom. I had an IEP meeting two weeks ago and it seemed the team blamed everything on ADHD. I got the impression they ignored the AS diagnosis I got but did agree to change her classification at my insistence. The team is really trying with social skills classes once a week, weighted vest, independent seating, etc. They are great but I feel they don't understand AS. I do get counseling services from the state and the counselor keeps STRONGLY suggesting I medicate dd and feels most her issues are ADHD driven also. I was hoping to eliminate all other options before having to make that decision. Your thoughts on how to respond to principal? They know I have been working very hard at getting DD outside support.
