I would say i spent the better part of a year in a panic over my sensitive, "different," socially -awkward kid going into seventh grade. <br />I think the deal so far (and i know there will be more challenges, of course) with my G should be a real beacon of hope for parents of children who share some of his qualities. Whether Middle School has changed or whatever it is, it will not necessarily be as you expect. <br />And a really fabulous thing is how we are all in this together!<br />Full Spectrum Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460737436704927666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-7463807251034194692014-12-10T07:19:24.002-08:002014-12-10T07:19:24.002-08:00Thanks so much, Rachel.

The idea of Ben going to middle school scares the pants off me! And I agree, academics are important, but they are not everything. I'm so glad you've found a place where he can thrive and the teachers are working with him... That is so huge!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493244364719871858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-14805824097274143392014-12-09T10:54:51.409-08:002014-12-09T10:54:51.409-08:00FSM!

I write as someone with a lifetime of straight As and an Ivy Ph.D. For me, I think grades were a way to prove to my family that i was worthy...G certainly doesn't have that impetus ;) <br />I think the other thing for me is that i DO know how deeply intelligent he is - and so do his teachers...and so does he. It's a question of getting THAT piece in the mix once he's really integrated the Social. Let's hope, anyway!!!!<br />Love,<br />FSMFull Spectrum Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460737436704927666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-53744585677710071632014-12-09T08:26:02.521-08:002014-12-09T08:26:02.521-08:00Love this.

Getting As and Bs feels really, really important, but having a kid with SPD has forced me to re-prioritize. I'm not very good at it yet, but I'm getting better each day.

My G spe...Dear Cynthia,<br />Thank you for your comment.<br />My G spent years and years being the school weirdo and getting teased, bullied and tolerated. We switched (and I do not say this lightly - it involved a lot of sacrifice and logistics) to a school where there is more diversity overall and he is IN HEAVEN. But I also think something shifted in him (I mean, he's still totally himself, but it's like he's okay with that and people sense it or...something) , and he might be in a different position even in his old environment. All this is just to say that there is SO much hope and I also believe that with dealing with struggles comes some wisdom, i.e. EI !!!!<br />Love,<br />FSMFull Spectrum Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460737436704927666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-31844197174591872812014-12-09T05:22:57.740-08:002014-12-09T05:22:57.740-08:00Nice post, I know how hard are of these EF and ABC...Nice post, I know how hard are of these EF and ABC's are to balance. I am finding more and more that when my ASD kid comes home he is upset due to some social interaction that occurred. I love hearing that G is doing well socially, it is so important in life. I have heard that Emotional Intelligence (EI) is one of the most important factors in determining if a person will succeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390657488765416741noreply@blogger.com
