If there is a chance that my child will be less of a "target" because she has appropriate social skills, I will take it.

In other words, because mean children beat a child with a disability, that child's disability has to be drilled out? It seems that if kids are mean, their meanness needs to be drilled out. I don't oppose social skills training (wished it for myself years ago, long before I was diagnosed ASD, for reasons not related to bullying), but it makes no sense to want to change a child because others mistreat that child. After all, you wouldn't put a non-disabled bully victim through your social skills drilling program, would you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
