fieldtrip up date | Autism PDD

I spoke to the school and he will go on the field trip but will have two people to one five year old. . . .kind of makes me chuckle . . .better safe then sorry

he is a lovable quiet child but would easily slip out of your hands.

heh, awsome, i always enjyed feildtrips, unfortunatly i guess I miss bahaved during them and so I got to have mommy accompany me to every trip, hehehe .

Indeed, its sad but true, if your kid is set aside in class and gets indepent attention and the other kids know about it they will tear him apart, its quite sad. It has happened, i have witnessed it in the past, even been a victum of it because when I was mainstreamed for years all the kids called me a 'bocey' whatever that means. I had to make up some pretty laim excuses for why I was in spec ed, and came up with 'well... when i moved here they had no where else to put me.'

pretty laim, tho their treatement of others who may benifit from assistence is far laimer.

I hate bullies, and whats rough is that the kids will generally go along with them, in a push pull effect where on one hand they did not like me cause i was different, already making me a target, and on the other hand pressure from the bullies, through fear made them act out against me, heh... wonderful times! Oddly enough i would go back if i could...They are basically talking about taking him out of class per say and give him one to one aba but of course they do not want it to happen at home.  They want it to happen at school.  He is really not ready for class especially with somethings they are doing they have the bar set really low.

They are kicking around the idea that Andy has one to one aba in the back of the classroom or off to the side.  Does that give the wrong idea to the kids.

My son has been pulled out of his mainstream class since first grade -- mostly joins them for gym, music, etc.  The other kids have never had a problem accepting that, and there has been no bullying as far as I know (other than snickering behind his back, which I have observed).  It probably helps that he usually has an extra adult nearby, and that he doesn't give bullies a good reaction.

It has also been considered a privilege for other kids to join my son, for example to play games while the rest of the class does regular work.

It's great that you and the school found a way to let him participate in the pumpkin patch field trip.  Do they still want to find a more restrictive placement for him?
