Hyperion's problem is that if he doesn't connect with you, he's not going to do well.<BR/><BR/>We're working with him on understanding that he just has to live his path and not pay attention to the paths of others. Because if someone strays off what Hyperion thinks is the right path, it will bug him for hours and to the point where he can't concentrate on anything else. My nephew has Asperger's Syndrome and I see certain commonalities in Hyperion's behavior - not to the same extent, of course, just enough that I jump in and work with him immediately using the techniques my ex-SIL uses with my nephew.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326137343295543209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31233261.post-16119932632290172342007-11-10T12:23:00.000-06:002007-11-10T12:23:00.000-06:00People who won't call kids (or adults) by their pr...People who won't call kids (or adults) by their preferred names can just. piss. off.<BR/><BR/>Good for Hyperion.

I was surprised to learn that kids in our area are now tested using a multiple choice test that is optically scanned and scored.<BR/><BR/>They used to test in second grade. Now, they test at the end of third grade.<BR/><BR/>I am shelling out many hundreds of dollars to take Iris to be tested the old fashioned way later this month.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever read 'Delivered from Distraction'? I think ADHD is a whole continuum of behaviors. Not everyone who prefers the outdoors and can't sit still indoors is ADHD. But they are probably closer to that end of the axis.<BR/><BR/>One recess a day for first graders? Sheesh. I would have never left kindergarten if they did that.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.com
