Cannot let it be. . .

This affront to all that is fair in Florida continues to just kill me. The autistic child voted out by his class at the insistence of his teacher. . .I cringe when I think of that child standing there, and how he must have felt, with those faces staring at him- and the fact that there appears to be NO indication that the "teacher" thought at all about potential pain and suffering. . .what, because he is autistic he cannot feel?

One of the most painful battles I fight is for my children's humanity, that basic right to just be accepted as members of the human race, and all of the perks that go with that, like a sense of respect and for an acknowledgement of their humanity- why is that so hard? If Precious has a bad day, family will ask us "what is wrong with him" to which the answer will usually be- he is having a bad day, just like any other 8 year old, he is not interested in what you are offering, he is refusing to do something, all very basic behaviors for kids.

With the dx of autism, that humanity default is not set- everything is autism related, and everything must be managed, from emotions to actions and motivations, there is never an unevaluated moment, some search is always conducted for the "cause" of whatever is going on. . .it simply CANNOT be that Precious is tired of school in May, or that he is not interested in homework. . .it cannot be THAT. . .because that would make this a human thing, not an autism thing. . .sheesh

We can pass all the laws we want, and ban every form of hate speech and discrimination- but insensitive Dillweeds like this "teacher" cannot be legislated, they cannot be mandated, they can only be reined in. . .and we will always have to have those reins in hand, never slack, in order to curb their tendency to deny our children of their rights to have completely autism free bad days and days off. . .and hold tight until we can pass them on to the next generation, for the exact same purpose. Yes, it sucks, and yes, I get so irrationally upset, but my fellow autistic patents, I have only one thing to say about this most recent event. . . .

Let's Ride!

Rainmom, an excellent driver
