RSA, I home schooled before but yes, it's a lot of work and I just feel teachers have experience. My son's inclusion didn't do so well as needs language support all time so this time a group lifts some work, keep up etc. Etc.
You said you not on spectrum, makes sense cause few members can connect but I get lots of likes or more posts and must be communication gap as just saying thinking of going back to bipolar support as Chattier, still weird n wacky.
It's nice to chat about kids (what ages are yours) I find most advice here isn't practical, guys useful on writing techniques but then again men aren't as involved, so.
My oldest daughter is 38, then my next daughter is 36, then I had 3 boys who are 34, 32, and 29. My son who is 34 is the one diagnosed with borderline ASD. He is high functioning also, but he has physical problems as well with U.C. which he takes Humira for (even though I do not like him being on that, his bleeding is hard to stop and since he is grown with a mind of his own, he wanted to take it) How many kids do you have?
I have to say the one thing I really overlooked while home schooling is that every book, every computer program, every lesson is in print. No cursive! When teaching them cursive I wasn't strong enough and of course they learned it and read all the time but are not strong at cursive, they tend to print everything. (My youngest son, when he went to the high school to take drivers Ed fell behind because he wasn't fast as the other kids with reading cursive. I have to admit when I went to the school to talk to the drivers ed teacher I could barely read his cursive. It was really bad! The teacher said my son could bring in a tape recorder instead of copying what was on the board, but my son wanted to drop out because he didn't want special treatment, it made him feel he had a handicap, and he didn't like that, so he waited to get his license until he was 18.
Do you want to just do private chat?
Also, my son with the ASD was so hard to teach, even though he was probably the smartest one, when he decided he didn't want to do something he just wouldn't do it! No matter what I did I couldn't make him do what the rest of the kids just did. If I put him in time out, he would just get up and walk away, if I sat him down and talked to him, it didn't matter he still wouldn't do it. He is very intelligent, the things he knows just amazes me. I can ask him anything and he knows the answer to it without being taught it. He can figure out anything, but the problem is his favorite saying is what's the point?
