I gave public primary school a try last year but I was being called constantly about how she wasn't performing how they wanted her to, she was crying all the time and to get constantly grounded in school and without eating properly... but enough was enough and since I was allowed to do so, I started homeschooling her... all was great she was thriving,happy, responsive until now, so I ask you, how do you cope when your ex starts to undermine all of your "work" with your Asperger child? He, lately, started to tell her she's dumm, that she's not learning anything with me, that she can't learn anything with me because I'm not a teacher (officially). She's starting to get depressed and struggling a lot... everything I've been preventing from happening... please help me... (he refused to accept that she has Asperger, even with a professional diagnosis...). Besides that, I'm searching for new ideas, apps to work with her (2nd grade), I've been working mainly based in the Charlotte Mason method but I would like to diversify a bit... I've been using youtube a lot, spanish/english videos (math, science, nature, words..)& documentaries (she loves them & she retains most of the information, she also repeats them several times)...Karalindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549130466042606175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-30634437738955000082014-03-12T10:10:07.032-07:002014-03-12T10:10:07.032-07:00I also homeschool my 9yr old with Aspergers and AD...I also homeschool my 9yr old with Aspergers and ADHD. She is sooo much better since Casein/gluten/soy/dye free. Also Lugals Iodine drops in juice did absolute wonders for the crying! Iodine helps them detox properly.

Same Thing, They Were all Wonderful But The Bottom line was Brandon Was Falling father Behind Every Year. Finally I said Thats it.Brandon Must Come First Nomatter Whose Feelings Get Hurt. I Did My research On line And Probed Other Homeschooling Moms And Then Took Him Out. I am So Glad I Did. He Is Relaxed, Happy More Confident And Alot Easier To Teach at Home Than I ever Exspected.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749350095833740298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-41068776371899680212012-02-10T10:11:52.159-08:002012-02-10T10:11:52.159-08:00Every year we re-did the iep and taked to death ab...Every year we re-did the iep and taked to death about how to make next year better but never got any where. So we took him out. Everyone in his school tryed but we found he still was slipping though the cracks. Where homeschooling this year and it's better at least I know the work is getting done how ever we also have a hard time with math and he shouts done on me alot. He is not a self starter and to be reminded lots to be on tack. I have 4 other boys one how is gifted and there always things going on in my home.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198163352928770785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-50079048490338759882011-12-13T08:26:48.800-08:002011-12-13T08:26:48.800-08:00My wonderful Aspie son is currently in public scho...My wonderful Aspie son is currently in public school. I've been pushing the school to deal with bullies, to assign an advocate / assistant, and to understand that he doesn't function well during the "work on your own" segments. They are in the process of revamping his IEP (finally) and his teacher is great about contacting me regularly to keep me in the loop with things going on. However. It feels like I'm talking to a brick wall most of the time when I discuss things with his Special Ed teacher. HE wants me to put my son back on meds so that he's "more compliant like he was before".<br /><br />I'm considering homeschooling him, but I feel kinda bad that they've gone through all this work only for me to tell them "Yeah, thanks but I'm taking him out of the school system." There's also the question of how to get started, who I'm supposed to report his progress to and all KINDS of other questions.

He did fine<br />until he went to public school and has learned very little the last three years.<br /><br />Tony Attwood has said that some kids with Asperger's do better in an off campus - one-on-one environment and can get their<br />social needs met other ways. It seems to fit for our son.<br /><br />Thank you, AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-4538326947979890182011-04-21T06:49:40.901-07:002011-04-21T06:49:40.901-07:00I have a 16 year old daughter who has Aspergers an...I have a 16 year old daughter who has Aspergers and possibly bipolar. She is now being home schooled. She used to be very bright. Now I can hardly get her to do any work at all. I get at the home school store whatever books that are easy and will help her. She has no self esteem, hides as much in her room that she can. She avoids her 13 year old sister,, she can't sleep at night so thinks she can sleep in the day. She is like waking the dead. I am frustrated. She is home schooled because she quit going to school. The county was going to take her away, under truancy. She needs to know so much more, but refuses to do anything I say. Has not had any friends for 5 years. Anywhere we go that are my friends, or dr.s she is so rude and swears just to embarrass me. Won't go to any more dr.s she is sick of them. Refuses counceling. Tried to committ suicide in June. She is so miserable I just feel for her. Is there any thing I can do that I am not doing? I could go on and on of what I have done for her. Hospitals only drug the kids. No faith in them. I love her to death but am scared for when we are gone. Husband is in denial. Works 70 hours a week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-67366056310322696002011-01-08T07:40:16.697-08:002011-01-08T07:40:16.697-08:00Thank you Tammy for the very specific curriculum i...Thank you Tammy for the very specific curriculum ideas!

We had great success with Hooked on Math last year, and are doing Teaching Textbooks on the computer this year. In addition, we were able to drastically reduce the amount of wasted/dawdle time once we implemented Sue Patrick's Workbox System.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305755945062872447noreply@blogger.com
