Time for a foot stomping

Monday I have to go in and meet with ds's teacher and the Behavioral specialist. They started a new charting system and gave it a whopping 3 days to work. Now they want to discuss "anything else" that might be effecting his behavior.
GGRRRRR
You know we went to the Dr because we thought he was adhd. We came home with Autism dx. In the *almost* 3 years since then dh and I have been reading everything we can get our hands on, spending endless hours on the net, finding other adults who have BTDT to educate ourselves. What we don't have is a degree in Special Education. So when the school calls and make me explain typical ASD behavior I just want to scream. They are the "experts" and I'm the one telling them, this is textbook behavior and I'm sorry you are concerned but if you have done your research you would know that.Soooo....taking a deep breath...spending some time in prayer...and going in Monday with God's hand on my shoulder and His hand over my mouth so I can explain, yet again, TEXTBOOK TEXTBOOK TEXTBOOK. And, a couple of Bless your hearts, and maybe even suggest pulling him and finding a placement where they don't get so gosh darn worked up over textbook behavior. Sheesh! Read the book people!!!
