and it sucks cause the school refuses to discipline the kid because he has adhd and a learning disability. he is still fully aware of what he is doing and how he is treating adults/other kids when applicable. and yet it’s somehow my fault (the para) when he doesn’t do his work and decides to cuss me out instead. pisses me off, especially cause no deescalation techniques work on him

i’ve talked to his teachers about it too and everyone is like “i have no advice for you sadly he doesn’t listen to anyone” and i’ve come to the conclusion with some of those teachers that he simply just doesn’t respect women. found out he has said that he doesn’t listen to his mom at home “because he doesn’t have to”. it ALL starts at home

It’s bc schools are terrified of legal action from these parents. But to me, this is just socially sanctioned ableism. It’s infantilizing people with disabilities by denying them the cognitive awareness of responsibility and accountability, which very much exists on every level of disability. Ofc it varies depending on needs and severity, but still there’s an appropriate level. And THIS??? Ain’t it

Yaknow my friend works in SPED (I’m a preschool teacher) and I think we’ve both had students that “just don’t respect women”. Have we ever considered that the only authority figures in their lives (mother, grandmother, teachers, aids, therapists, etc) are women and issues with authority are incredibly common in adhd, asd, to the point ODD is a common comorbidity? Meaning there’s TREATMENTS and HELP
