[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 681744, member: 1550"] There are vastly different severities and levels of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). He really is his own person and what other asders do are not relevant to him. Some can be motivated (my son is very) and some dont have the ability to do independent work nor the drive. I hope jack gets interventions such as Occupational Therapist (OT) and pt at school. You cant do it all!! Remember this too. Just because he can read doesnt mean he understands the words. Another problem with thinkers on the spectrum is that they tend to focus on little details and miss the big picture. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), at its core, is a.communication and social disorder. He may feel he has to memorize the story in order to explain what he read. Work is taxing for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. Many can only do so much then their brains can overload and they shut down. Not their fault. Discipline such as missing a much NEEDED social skills.class will not make jack able to do more work than his brain can take in nor enable him to do it faster. I have always felt that schools need to educate their workers/educstors on autism. Too often they get blamed and punished for things they can not control. My son had "no homewotk" in his IEP. I forced it it was too.stressful for.him to prolongue the school.day. he needed down time. I would have been a force to wrecken with if he EVER missed his social skills class. It was more important than math or reading to his life and that would have never happened. I stayed very close to.what.went on in school with him and now as a young man he is.doing well. Im glad they knew I was watching. They need to educate school personal a lot more. Not your fault.they dont. Jack sounds like a typical average functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid whose brain shuts down and takes him into his own world when he is differently wired brain is overstimulated and needs a rest.
