10% As every mum knows, the beginning of school is a time of scraped knees, bugs and illnesses. Amy certainly had her fair share of all that. One week she was unsettled and unhappy, repeatedly telling me that she had a sore eye.
12% Some transitions are so simple – painting a classroom another color, a changed room layout, new furniture, a different teacher. Major transitions like leaving the familiar secondary school to the navigation of a big, college environment had to be addressed and planned months ahead.
30% We had fought similar battles for Dale in the past and won, but this one was to be our ultimate crusade. Facing another war, we would need new armor, fresh defenses. Dale had endured the torment of bullying at school, like over 40% of autistic children. Now this!
31% It wasn’t Dale’s failure, but the college’s failure: “To make reasonable adjustments for Dale. He should not be treated less favorably because he has a disability.”
For what seemed the hundredth time in a lifetime of composing fighting letters, we were once again taking days to perfect that all-important letter for Dale’s future.
