Learning with special needs, especially with autism is the most challenging to anybody who works with this population. Parents or teachers have a hard time teaching them. I admit Adam's difficulties in learning something is too severe, his brain isn't responding or receptive enough due to his autism.
Despite that reason, I don't mind in learning if he doesn't pick up anything that teachers teach him. But something is really bothering and It's concerning me. Seeing his lunch box often untouched or hearing the teacher complaining that Adam cries on and off the whole day and seems he's having stomachache. Stomach is the most important thing to me.
How are you going to stay all day from 9 am to 4 pm if your stomach is empty? The only food he has is from breakfast at 8am from home and he loves his food.
Adam will eat the whole food if someone assists him, encourages and tells him to scoop his food. It is not his fault if his autism causing him so rigid that he won't touch his food and feed himself. I try my best to help him but it is what it is.
I don't know if I make the right decision but I think is the best way is to keep my son home for the rest of the year before he starts his new private school at Gersh Academy this coming year. That's mean, home school him temporary ....
Off course study and learning are priorities and the main goal, but making him happy also is my job besides those two things.
His naughtiness isn't something to blame, I bet it is just naturally a kid's behavior. He almost got bitten by the geese because he bothers them.
Greetings from Seattle and happy weekend to all my steemian friends ...
