Other than 'stupid' :) I can do digital time and even 24 hour but I've never been able to tell the time on a clock face.

I am 24 years old and am in great need of advice. Lately, I've had a few people ask me if I'm dyslexic. I have no problem spelling or writing correctly, but I have difficulty speaking. Unlike most people, I cannot rattle things off the top of my head. If I do, it comes out all jumbled up and backwards. For instance, yesterday, I said " It's been like that all dad, day" instead of " It's been like that all day, dad". I do that ALL the time. I had speech therapy in grade school because I had trouble pronoucing the "R" sound. Also, my memory is awful. I work as a secretary and I recently found out that I will be instructing monthly meetings in front of everyone and I am horrified! I cannot get in front of 20-30 people and make a speech with out embarassing myself. If it comes down to it, I'd rather walk out than go through such torture. I just need ideas on what could be wrong with me. Is there a chance I do have dyslexia or is this some other form of disability?

So-called 'advoncecy' groups on behalf of the disabled like to peach acceptance nad make society neddlessly bend over backwards just for a few people.I much rather wait 5 years for a cure or centuries at best for human nature to change which it cannot and people don't really want to change who they are.I just know from my experience that 'acceptance' just will not work and everybody wants to be better than somebody.Ther's nothing wrong with that.isn't it?

Have any of ya'll read Torey Haden's books? She writes about her experiences from her career as a special education teacher and also as a therapist for a brief time. It's very interesting. Since her books are spread out over years, it's also interesting to see how Special Education has evolved. Look here for more info: http://www.torey-hayden.com/index.html

My severely disabled autistic son will shortly be entering weekly residential boarding school 5 nights a week. He receives high rate disability living allowance and mobility allowance. I use the mobility allowance to pay for a car for him. Of course I will have to declare to the Department of Work & Pensions that he will be entering residential - will he lose ALL of his allowances and the car? Also will I lose my carers allowance?

OK you sure don't need be an Aspie to enjoy games, but do they take on a certain special attraction with Asperger's people? Any comments on this or your own experiences?

Hello. I was just wondering if anyone can help me out. I am already attending a college in PA and am looking to become a Speech Teacher in the PA/NJ area.
Would you get this from majoring in Special Education? I know I could choose Speech Pathology, but I am not interested in becoming a Certified Speech Pathologist, I'm more interested in teaching in schools as a Speech Teacher.
Would a Bachelors Degree in Special Education be enough? Thank you for your help!

Describe a general day in life of what it is like for a college boy who is special needs and goes to "special classrooms" and has an aide to help with excess work, but it is a boy who is smart and can do stuff (ie. NOT retardedness or stupidness, more or less like LD or ADD)

Were you or was someone you know sexually assaulted or victim of a similar crime in the past 20 years?

In retrospect, what were all the warning signs, or other aspects of the perpetrator that were, or now seem like they should have been, suspicious?

My friend's sibling had trust violated by a person in authority, and I want to do everything I can to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.

My plan is to put your answers together to create a personality profile that I will use to make a quiz on http://QuizFarm.com . By answering a series of questions about anyone that you know, you can determine the level of risk the individual carries in relation to others and find the help you may need to take action if necessary.

Thank you very much for your participation in this truly life-saving project.

I live in Pakistan and have a 17 year old younger brother who has learning difficulties, including dyslexia, ADD etc. In our country, there are no schools/institutes that can offer special education/therapy catering to his needs. Most are for severely disabled students. I want to know if there's any organization in UK that can offer such services or atleast advice me towards right direction? It can be any school, institute or any charity organization? I just need the help urgently.

I was wondering whether you believed if it would be better to hold a child back in kindergarten or push
them forward to first grade? The child is on an IEP and they
increased thier services but he/she is still behind in all academic areas. As a parent I say hold the student back now or never. The school says they do not have the space in the inclussion classroom so the student goes forward. How do you feel about this and what are some
benefits to either decisions?

Please help ease my worrying mind.
Thank you in advance for your input.

We, as parents, disagree with the results. The school says they can't help my child because she scored in the average range on the evaluations they gave her. But she is failing all of her classes and has a note from our therapist stating that she has several learning dissabilities. What can we do to counteract the desicions of the school? Can my daughter still quailify for special ed. (ps. we live in So. California)

I teach at an alternative school for students with emotional and behavioral disorders. One of my students is a 14 year old male. He has recently started refusing to eat. He does not eat lunch at school or dinner at home. He eats some fruit for breakfast at home in the morning. I talked to his mom yesterday. Apparently he got this idea from when we watched the movie Holes last week. Two characters ran away from the camp. They did not have food or water when they first ran away. The student's mom stated that he thinks you can live without eating and drink only water. The student told me that he is not hungry. He stated that if he does not feel hungry, then his body does not need to eat. Any suggestions on where I can find lesson plans about the importance of eating? Or any ideas of activities I can do with the class on eating disorders and the importance of food?

With people on the look out for "weird behaviour", will this have ominous consequences for the Asperger's and Autistic people? I'm quite worried about this.

He is learning disabled and school has been difficult for him since kindergarten. But I try to explain, why go to school for 13 years and then give up 2 months before graduation. He has severe depression and I'm trying to find several reason why his diploma will improve his life.
