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

[Anonymous]

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

So many of us parents would love things to be easier and most of us do not take any money for our kids, myself included.

Yeah I tend to agree. I have autism so to hear it doesn't exist is hilarious to me. I love when people say that those with SPD should just get over it. Oh and people with speech apraxia are just not trying hard enough. I have been proven to go deaf in stressful situations. My SPD can physically hurt. I would never expect another mom to do anything that hurt them emotionally, physically, or mentally. I even changed my avatar because it was upsetting people. Should I not care about others because I adore spiders and it was bothering people? I got so many comments that now this just really amuses me.

[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?

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.

 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.

For years we went thinking my daughter had ADHD because that is what society says when a kid is misbehaving anymore, they never look any deeper.  Long story short my daughter is 11 years old and has brain cancer and we always just assumed it was ADHD.  She was never medicated because something in my gut told me not too.  I just wonder how many other kids are running around with tumors growing in their brains and taking Ritalin.  Most people die in their sleep and they do not find the tumor until an autopsy is performed.

How about we don't baby him, there we hance always disciplined him, he knows there are praises for good behavior and consequences for bad choices. We take him to the doctor, he does therapy since the age of three, gets suspended twice from kindergarten because his brain is "too busy" (his words) to sit still. Three different doctors evaluate him and come up with a diagnoses if ADHD and anxiety. We change his diet, add supplements, and get him more exercise, more therapy, and still no improvement. School threatens to expel him for not sitting in class.

You really think a five year old intentionally acts like that when he KNOWS there are consequences at home for that behavior? He would come home crying because he wants to be like other kids and be "good"at school but cant because his brain won't let him. His anxiety over it all us so bad that he picks at his fingers until they are swollen and bleeding.

Aaand Idk why I even wrote all that because you probably don't care, nor will it change your mind.

Oh and I have never tried to make money from his suffering. Fyi.

Quoting Anonymous:

Parents baby them, they act like brats, parents take them to the doc, kids get diagnosed, parents get checks.



That's the way it works. Now THAT is disgusting. That's pathetic. Either be a decent parent or don't have kids. It's simple.

Quoting briansmommy2010:

Your ignorance is disgusting. That you honestly believe any parent would WANT their child to suffer is pathetic.

Quoting Anonymous:

Lol whatever. 18 of my 24 have disabilities, but when their free time is on the line, MAGICALLY 0 have issues behaving. Whatever.







I've been teaching for 14 years and I just see it getting worse. Parents who don't want to be held accountable or hold their kids accountable. They'd rather just make up an excuse and a diagnosis so they don't have to. I see it every day.

Quoting briansmommy2010:

So because you've seen some piss poor parents,that means the rest of us are making it up for a check and medication?









Yeah, my life goal was to have an autistic child with sensory issues, all so that I can collect a measly few hundred dollars a month while I watch him struggle to do simple tasks that should come easily to him at his age.

I won't say those disorders are fake. But, they are over diagnosed and sometimes it is a lazy and easy out from being a parent.

[Anonymous]

I think the reason she seemed so hyper is because every other kid in the class excluding one was a medicated zombie.  She did have a hard time sitting still but she was no different than the kids where when I went to school, we where just told to sit still or we took a 2 minute break and the teacher let us walk around the room and chat.

Quoting Anonymous:

It's insanity!! 18 of my 24 are medicated daily. 3 more are medicated as-needed. I have 3 kids that are 'normal' wtf. Lazy parents!! They don't need meds they need discipline.

That's insane that the teacher would suggest that. We expect some level of wild kids but we also have to maintain control. Doping everyone else up is just lazy.

Quoting Anonymous:

I am the anon that said I loved you and I have to say that when my daughter was in 2nd grade the teacher slipped up and told me that 18 out of her 20 students where medicated for behavioral problems, she was trying to convince me to medicate my daughter because she would not sit still, are you freaking kidding me?  18out of 20?  That would mean my daughter and one other student where not medicated.  Wow just wow is all I have to say.

Quoting Anonymous:

Hehe--tenure. Won't happen :-). I've been teaching the same way for 14 years and have never had an issue. Wonder why?? We even have a 2 way mirror in our class so parents can see what's going on. I would be stupid to do something when i know that at any time I was being watched.



Honey my job is secure. I'm a great teacher and I don't tolerate the nonsense. I'm not your mama so don't bring me the drama. It's on the inside of my door :-).

Quoting briansmommy2010:

They probably only behave because they are terrified of you.





I pray that one of their parents finds out how you really feel, and has you very quickly removed from your job.

Quoting Anonymous:

Your opinion is irrelevant. The kids behave in my class and do well. I don't baby and I don't tolerate the bullshit. I have patience, but I'm not going to waste it babying kids who are old enough to listen. None of my kids are mentally retarded. They all have silly diagnoses. Why do they behave in my class but not at home? Because I'm not your mama, so don't bring me the drama. That's fucking why.

Quoting Anonymous:

For a kid with spd that texture can be physically painful. The point of seeking help and therapy is to teach them coping skills so when they are adults they can handle it. Water on my son's face feels like needles stabbing him. But every night we do his joint compressions and he splashes water on his face to help desensitize him to that feel in.




You should not be a teacher if you have such little patience and understanding for children. They are kids not mini adults.
