Frustration felt abroad

So, as I read Tammy's post, I too have realized that her frustration is shared by thousand of other parents who are upset with their child's school districts. I must say how truly blessed my two boys are. The road to get them here was long and hard but I believe that both Daivon and McKenzie are in a better place.
Daivon, who has Aspergers, is confronted every day with the choice to do what is right or do what is impulsive. So far the latter has been winning. How do we correct this child? Drew, his BMAC, has been right by D's side. Much respect to him. I would not have the patience to handle D all day. Now that he is 13 it is even worse. I see D struggling to understand why the world doesn't think the way he does and why everyone has to fit into this cute perfect square box. IF we were to fit in there don't you think that everyone would be the same.
Next is McKenzie. The most loving compassionate caring child I have ever met. Talk about your ADHD/ Autism in overdrive. I joke with Bit about sending him to camp 2 weeks every summer just to get a break but in reality I miss him. McKenzie is now a reader. Yes. Fourth grade and he saw the light. Again with that box. While homeschooling my children, I learned that they will develop skills at their own pace. So again what is wrong with the world?

Why are people so stupid to children born with mental disabilities? Why do you stare at our children who are 7 years old and throwing temper tantrums? Why do you stare and judge us a parents? Why can't you teach your children that not everyone is the same and extend that olive branch? Don't feel sorry for us parents because we have learned so much having a child with disabilities.

So to Mr. Rawley;
I understand that your teachers at school may not understand you and sometimes you may not understand yourself but just remember that no matter what you do, where you go you are one of a kind. Sure, you may do things because they seem like a good idea at the time and you get in trouble but keep in mind this inspiration: An armature built the ark and professionals built the titanic.

Love you
