It is some teachers opinions that there is no such thing as aspergers. When they talk to me about eloises 'strange' ways at school i.e not joining in group activities, not wanting to speak in front of the class, rocking when she feels upset or uncomfortable in her environment, they dismiss Aspergers. Even though they have had a copy of all of Eloises hospital assessments, they carry on treating her the same so nothing improves, so frustrating! What worries me is that she goes up to juniors school next september and i know its going to be tough for her, she has not been prepared for it at all.

Ok this conversation has me on fire!! I am a parent as well as an autism teacher. Get an IEP now! That is ridiculous that are not serving your child. I am at a public school and we have self contained classes but our concern is to get these kids back out in the reg ed classes. Our moto is the classroom accomodates to the child not the child accomadating to the classroom. It sounds like your child is not receiving Free and Appropriate Public Education- it's a law called FAPE. Contact special services now. Demand that the teachers be trained in autism. Since my school has a high number of autism due to 6 autism classes being there, we train them. It is out there and maybe they need to do that on a professional day. Sounds like she is a little over stimulated and rightfully so if she is not gettng any accomodations
