I love this website so much. My aspie husband always discusses how he has to plan his day. Plans are ESSENTIAL to him. He has to know what time my children are going to come home from their dad's house. He has to plan when to mow the lawn, when to go to his office (he loves his quiet office on the w...

This explains why my husband doesn't understand why I want him to come to bed. He usually falls asleep in a chair and comes to bed about 4 a.m. I have accepted it. I know it is just the way he works. :)

Wow. I feel like I am possibly fighting a losing battle. People who are not sensitive to the needs of aspie students should not be in education. I am sure that is probably most people in education. I hate that you went through all of that. Reading things like what you experienced makes me want to do...

Hi Callista, Yes, I have decided if that happens again that I am going to the principal. The teacher that I work with has already told me to go talk to her, but since I am new there, I was trying to tread lightly. It has been said on more than one occasion that someone was going to come observe in t...

Thank you so much, Mama_ to_Grace. I thank you for your advice and insight. He deals with sensory overload constantly. I will try to figure out who will make the best peer for him so that he can be shielded from the triggers. I haven't determined how to explain to a student that he is different, yet...

Oh my GOD that is absolutely deplorable and brings tears to my eyes. My AS husband went through his entire school career with no diagnosis. He is very private and only sometimes tells me things about when he was younger. I hope he did not endure this, and I sure hate to hear that you did. I hope no ...

Hi Fluke83, What you said hits the nail on the head! Teachers in this area are not very accommodating to different learning styles. They think everyone should be able to sit still, not talk, read, write, do math, and abide by educational standards from years past. It does not work that way, as you a...

Hi Sinsboldly, Thank you so much for your advice. You are EXACTLY right about my opinion possibly not being welcomed. I don't think people in this area like someone who knows things they do not know, nor do they want to look as if they are uninformed or have an open mind. I have thought about precis...

I am a high school teacher, but due to some decisions I decided to make, I have shifted gears and am working as an assistant teacher in a very rural area (where there is a lot of ignorance). Anyhow, I have an aspie husband in my personal life and I have taught aspie students in high school. I can sp...
