A day in the life of Autism

So it starts.....

Well, Brandon got kicked out of SACC a couple of weeks ago. It took me a while to get back to blogging. I did not want to rant and rave. Brandon was only allowed to get three demerits for the whole summer. Well, we did not know this. That's usually his limit for a day not the whole summer. Well, they said they had made concessions. hmmm. Well, the girl who wrote him up met my husband at the door with a smile and said Brandon won't be able to come back, he got a demerit yesterday. When he asked why it wasn't given to me YESTERDAY, she said well I forgot to write it up so I did this morning. Well my husband told him well I will call my wife and she can work it out with you. I did not call the boss, but her bosses boss. We talked about the Williamson co policy on dealing with kids with special needs and his IEP. My complaint with this girl was that she could not deal with autistic kids, but she was in charge of giving him demerits? Her attitude toward my husband, smiling like this is going to be Brandon's last day? I was told that this would be her last time working with him. We gave them all the tools we work with. I gave the director all the stuff to help that we use at home and at school. Brandon did get in trouble, don't think he didn't. He had consequences. He did throw a toy at the teacher. She was trying to get it from him but pulling it from him was a bad choice. ANYWAY, I know that Brandon WAS in SACC the next week. It starts... The battles to make sure he gets good care, the battle to make sure he gets treated right... It starts for this year anyway. I fight everyday, every hour, every second. And I will continue to....For as long as it takes....
