Sounds like it was very tough for you when he was young, but that he has come a long way Opal!! No doubt thanks to good parents. I don’t find teachers to be as invested today, with some distinct exceptions.

Lilboops it sounds like they’ve really expanded the diagnosis. I hope that this is working for the good of the kids and not to their detriment. As Bbbkn did, we had some 2 year programs in our high school, but we had no segregation in public school. Some kids struggled more, but failures were rare. And no one was noticeably different. We had kids with mental disabilities, but they were completely different and were schooled separately. They wouldn’t have fallen into the autism spectrum- they had Down’s syndrome or other issues that were pretty severe in nature.

I think we all worry about our kids Bbbkn, no matter what their age. We never stop being parents and as parents it’s our job to worry!
