I think there needs to be disruption to the special education world. For one there are too many women of a certain age and background. With that said, there is HORRIBLE leadership in this group. If you need a reminder, these people have effectively put scare tactics on my group of people of what I CAN’T DO. Remember, these are the same groups of people who get after the PDD groups on focusing on the negative. And of course, they never stop harping on strict social skills because we have to be 100% accurate and never make 1 mistake.
So with that said, I’m going to ask:

• How would you change the same ol’, same ol’ practice of teaching the autistic/PDD groups on social skills?
• Would you include the “normal” groups to act as the “equal opportunity offender”?
• Would you teach on how to “humanize” the PDD groups, instead of focusing on turning them into goddamned robots?
• Would you focus on the “grey” issues or attempt to teach “black and white” standards?
• Is there a “social standard” and if so, why in the hell is there not a “manual” that most autistic people would looovveee to have and read?
• Would you abolish the “sexual harassment” lessons in the high school age?
• And would you be willing to treat everyone as different groups of people and not attempt to paint everyone with a broad brush?

I know there is a lot of questions, I am just putting it out there because I am sick and tired of motherly women controlling the special education hackerama and not only screwing up these vulnerable citizens; but not only that to ask Uncle Sam to pick up the tab for unnecessary pain and trauma and leaving the adult services programs to reprogram these people of how the “real world” doesn’t work like how Room 112 was teaching for most of their high school years (and I am including the younger ed classes as well.)
