Moms who think adhd, autism, sensory processing disorder, etc are bs...

Yes, some are misdiagnosed but to say these disorders do not exist baffles me.

She actually doesn't get much (if any) cash from SSI. She and her fiance make too much to qualify for Medicaid, and they don't have insurance through their job. But their son still needs a lot of different specialists, and they need insurance coverage for it.
Quoting Anonymous:She would get medical assistance if her income is low enough to get ssi and medical assistance covers all therapies for autistic kids. I have a cousin with 2 so called autistic kids and a friend with a kid that I do believe does have a touch of autism and ALL therapies are covered for them but they like having that extra $700 a month. She was bullshitting you when she told you that is why she applied.
Quoting briansmommy2010:
Insurance doesn't always cover all of the therapies that an autistic child may need, and not everybody has a job that offers insurance. I know one parent that gets SSI for her autistic child, and the main reason she even applied was for the insurance so he could keep getting help after he turned 3 and aged out of early intervention.

My son has sensory processing disorder. No ssi.
Btw, those who have kids with autism need the money for their kids. It can be expensive. I know just ours for our kid isn't cheap. He has speech therapy and occupational therapy.
I cannot believe that a professional who is trusted with others kids is on here talking the way she is. I will say if I had any inclination that you were my kids teacher you would not have a job to go back to. I find it disgusting that you find it ok to talk like this when parents send their kids to you to learn. If you have a prob with the kids, then ask for them to be removed. If not, then you ask to be transferred. You are deffinately in the wrong field of work.

That breaks my heart. I can't imagine it for you either *hugs*
I am not the teacher but I do agree with her, why would you not want a teacher to hold your special needs child to a high standard? Do you not want your child to succeed in life? We need more teachers like her that do not take crap from kids.

I had a boyfriend with spd. One of the things he couldn't stand was tags because it was painful.
Quoting Anonymous:
Lol over a tag? Cut that sucker out or fucking deal with it. It's a tag. That's just silliness!! It's not pain, it's choosing to let your child whine and bitch and control the situation. I would not tolerate such insanity.
How old is your son? Why doesn't he say what he needs? Based on your tone, you would probably make excuses for him and then yes, he is spoiled and you would be the parent I've been talking about.
The school board loves my teaching style. I even teach a workshop three times a year on how to control your classroom without medicating your class, that's the gist. I have never had a complaint, and you're the butt-hurt handout excuse making parent I despise.
Quoting briansmommy2010:
Are you really sitting there trying to compare you not wanting to wake up in the morning, to a child with SPD? That is seriously proof that you are in the wrong line of work, and are completely ignorant about these disorders and what they really mean.
A good friend of mine has a son with autism. She cannot buy shirts with tags on them because it is literally excruciatingly painful for her son to wear a shirt with a tag. Not just mildly uncomfortable, or something he doesn't feel like doing, but something that causes severe pain for him. Should he just get the fuck over it, and deal with pain every day?
When my son gets overwhelmed by sensory input, or frustrated (because he is unable to verbalize his needs), he slaps himself in the mouth, and pulls at his teeth with his fingers. Yet I'm sure to you he's nothing more than a spoiled little brat, and I'm a lazy POS parent.
Tenure or not, if you keep treating your students like shit, you WILL lose your job. One parent alone may not have a lot of power, but enough complaints against you for mistreating your students, and you will quickly be looked at as a liability to your employer. If it comes down to letting you go, or being slapped with a lawsuit, what do you think the school is going to choose?
Quoting Anonymous:
Lol parents don't have all the power honey. I have tenure :-). I've been this way all my life and after 14 years of teaching, I still believe it.
It causes me extreme discomfort to wake up. I hate it. Do I cry, bitch, whine, get attention or anything? No, do what I have to. What are we teaching our kids that if they don't like something, just don't do it. It's totally okay!! What the fuck ever.
I will hold these kids to higher standards than their parents do and they act better. Eventually the kids get tired of the charade and being a pawn in the government game.
Quoting briansmommy2010:
If you have the attitude that a child with SPD just needs to get the fuck over something that is causing them extreme discomfort, then you need to get the hell out of your line of work. If my son ever has a teacher with your attitude about his issues, I will make damn sure that teacher no longer has a job.
Quoting Anonymous:
I have 24 kids in my class. 18 have some kind of a disability. My kids who have spd don't like the taste or texture of food. Wtf. Get over it. They don't like the way their coat feels today. Wtf. Employers won't be so apt to change everything because Johnny hates his new desk chair and won't sit down and get to work. That's fucking ridiculous.
These kids need to be taught to fucking deal with it sometimes. Parents baby them and that just hurts them further. It's a cycle.
Most other diagnoses are wrong, too, in my kids. They behave when they're being challenged. They behave when free time is on the line. They have the control but choose not to exercise it.
Every parent thinks their kid is super special, and some of them even get meds for it. Ridiculous.
Quoting Anonymous:
I am sure there are lazy parents but this doesn't mean that there isn't such a thing. Spend a day with my son and you would see.
He has sensory issues, mainly with his food. It' snot just about what he likes but it's uncomfortable for him.
Quoting Anonymous:
I'm a teacher. I see these lazy POS parents every day who can't be bothered to discipline and would rather get a check and medication.
Quoting kblossom20:
IGNORANCE AT IT'S FINEST RIGHT HERE!
Quoting Anonymous:
I think it's all fake because parents would rather medicate than parent. Raising kids is hard, so lets give them a fucking complex and medication for it.
Don't assume that every parent of a special needs child uses the disorder as a free pass for their child to do whatever they want. My son gets disciplined like any other child would (it just has to be done in different ways, because traditional methods of discipline don't work with him).
Quoting Anonymous:
Hey loooove to make excuses for why their kids act like hellions though.
Quoting briansmommy2010:
And again,MANY parents of children with these disorders wouldn't even think of trying to get a check for it.
Quoting Anonymous:
I know. Pos lazy parents who have kids with 'disorders' and government checks. It's welfare, and you're welfare queens. It's just government scum.
The people who are physically ill can't get it because parents believe there's something mentally wrong with their kids.
Sad for our country.
Quoting Anonymous:It just really pisses me off that there are adults out there with serious terminal illnesses who cannot get help but they hand it to kids and people actually believe that these kids DESERVE it!
Quoting Anonymous:
Yep. Welfare instead of self-reliance. Sad.
Quoting Anonymous:No children do not deserve to be handed $700 a month to support themselves, that is the parents job. It needs to go back to the way it was years ago, you did not get ssi for a child unless they where severely sick (pretty much bedridden) or terminal, not because a kid can't look you in the eyes, throws temper fits and does not like certain foods. This entitlement shit is why the United States is in the situation it is.
Quoting Anonymous:The children deserve it. It
It's not like a lot of other programs the government pays for would meet other people's approval. This just happens to be a popular one. I wonder if we know all the government spends money on.

So??? The government should fund that why exactly?

Honey, Ignorance is bliss... They obviously are having a hard time in thier lives so they gotta take everyone down with them.. No one ever knows the whole story behind one child but hte parent. So best to say nothng then to be an ass about stuff.
