In Africa, it is normal to leave a tard baby to be eaten by animals. The rest of the village will think you're cursed if you don't get rid of the potato.

Damn, I wish I was able to get that kind of tard exemption from doing math in my IEP. I suck at it too but always got told I was just being lazy. The closest I got was being in a sped math class in middle school where I was still expected to do all the work and shit (which I usually didn't do because I didn't know how or care and killed my grades as a result).In practice however you get kids who have no business outside the sped class, or even a specialty school, being pushed into the regular class and ruining things for the kids who can actually learn. Like when you wheel in the near-potato profound kid who has never indicated he even knows what a school
But anyways, that year we had 5 minute math quizzes every Friday, and the only way to become exempt was to consistently score high enough very test and prove to be a math genius. Except for him, he was instantly exempt, and if you asked why the teacher would snap that it's none of our business. And having graded his regular math tests on more than one occasion I can say that he definitely did not have the stereotypical autistic math Rainman genius going on either. Quite the opposite actually and hence why he was exempt from the weekly quiz in hindsight: because he was shit at math and a slow test taker and therefore the weekly quiz would be too mean.
There's another problem in the inner city schools near me. Because anyone who could retire, take different job, be a full time parent during the pandemic did so; there is severe overcrowding and a poor teacher to student ratio. A friend of mine is leaving after this school year because she has over 35 students in her 6th grade class, most of which are SPED and have IEPs. She says because remote learning didn't work well for SPED kids, most of them are severely behind where they should be at for 6th graders educationally. She says they are also very behind behaviorally. She's frustrated and overwhelmed. Sadly this is a young teacher that wanted to teach SPED kids and found it rewarding until the 'Rona. She's chosen to go be a full time parent for a few years.That was the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. When IDEA replaced EHA they decided to close most dedicated tard schools and put everyone into standard sped classes and more speds into regular classes because they redefined what the least restrictive environment should be. They had good intentions to give higher functioning tards and autistics the chance to interact with their peers in a normal school (or even the opportunity to just go to a normal school) like normal kids. This is good, especially for the higher functioning group that can perform basic tasks and need role models on how to act like normal people, and also give regular kids a chance to see that tards are people too.
They beleive it is a label that will follow their child for their entire life.I also have difficulty understanding why some parents refuse SPED services. Logically, I know it's because they are either in denial or don't want their kid 'labeled'. There's a kid that stutters badly in my friends class. The kid doesn't have an IEP or receive services because the parents insist the kid will out grow it. How?
Paisley used to have more movement but the family refuses to get services in place to help her. They state that no one will help them but do nothing on their own.She posted this on her story, they’re out at a restaurant. Paisley is just laying there blankly but her mom says she’s “enjoying all the new scenery”.
I'm fortunate enough that I've got my wits about me, there were plenty of other autists who required wranglers and were mostly there for socialization. I did get my first detention for violence, thoughElementary school vs high school
By the time you get to high school, they just want to push you out. The maturity helps with the mushing lunch into their hair and hitting. Unfortunately for ES staff, the kids just keep doing it.
I feel bad for all kids involved. The autist has no idea why he can’t read like the others (despite day dreaming about sharks all day) and the other kids don’t know why he won’t stop attacking them and breaking their shit.
Separate schools sound like heaven but I don’t think most parents go for that anymore. Full inclusion it is!
I know somebody who lived about five years with it. We were amazed the first year with a chemo drug administered to brain, but after a subsequent surgery, he was never the same. His language centers were off, among many other things, so communicating was hard, and he truly became a different person, a difficult one. Kept pushing Rick Simpson oil, then god, then all kinds of things he’d never believed in previously. Like dementia. And the end was the same. He’d lived a long time given the disease but I’m not sure I’d call them good years.What an absolute nightmare in every possible way. I hope that he doesn't suffer and that she finds peace without encouraging him to seek futile treatment. So sad.

Look at that poor kid look at the pain it's in

Look at that poor kid look at the pain it's incorrective surgery fucking HOW?
"Paisley wishes I hadn't chickened out that time I held a pillow over her face"I can’t stand how both Prayersforpaisley and Empathic_mamahood are parents who see their child as an extension of themselves instead of an individual person.
They’re both guilty of always saying “she was so happy, excited, loving, SASSY”, when that’s what they want their child to feel not what the child is actually feeling.

Neil Peart lived 3 1/2 years with GBM, because he had a mutation that was treatable, and one report I read said they were able to keep him in what amounted to a holding pattern until about a week before he died.I know somebody who lived about five years with it.

Most of us would fight given an option, unless we had first hand knowledge of the consequences. Sometimes, it’s best to arrange for excellent hospice and let nature take its course. Nasty, nasty cancer.
I know a lot of people whose husbands or themselves have terminal diagnoses and suddenly want children. I suppose mortality hits them but they are not thinking about the damage they will do to that child’s life. Fortunately, most end up not doing it.
I've seen examples of both in this thread. Lately it's been trending more toward the second kind of person, but there are also plenty of posts on people who knew their kid had some kind of incompatible-with-life defect and let them be born anyway and tried to celebrate them as some kind of special miracle from God. Then we've also got the special cases like Dugan Sherbondy, whose kid fell off a golf cart and suffered a brain injury that left her in a permanent coma and he kept insisting that his homeboy Jesus was going to completely heal her any day now and getting angrier and angrier when He failed to come through.I do have an on topic question for you guys. Does a family/kid added here need to have been born despite the knowledge of the defect from one of those “a life is a life” moms or is it more about parents who post videos of their brain dead kids for shekels? I’m asking because I follow a few on tiktok currently and wasn’t sure if they meet the criteria. I did look in the OP and I’ve lurked here for years but I may have missed the rule.
Poor kid. I hope he can get some relief. I wonder what syndrome he has?That video was posted earlier in this thread.
Here's an update from November 2021. TL : DW - The mother and baby obtained travel visas to India, and as of when the video was made, they had just arrived and the baby was being evaluated for corrective surgery.

Think when it was discussed earlier in thread that consensus was that he had Crouzon Syndrome.Poor kid. I hope he can get some relief. I wonder what syndrome he has?
Off topic but loved Neal Peart. Damn he fought hard.Neil Peart lived 3 1/2 years with GBM, because he had a mutation that was treatable, and one report I read said they were able to keep him in what amounted to a holding pattern until about a week before he died.
My acquaintance's "baby fever" predated this by several years. Her husband's biggest change, and it's unknown if it's from the tumor or the surgery, is that he has no concept of the passage of time. She did say that this is gradually improving.
ETA: Change, not chance.
