My daughter has autism, she entered the school in 2nd grade and despite having her doctors diagnosis of ASD, they stuck her in a regular classroom and expected her to act accordingly while they spend several MONTHS doing their own ASD testing. Her placement in a regular classroom led to the suspending my 7 year old repeatedly for "behavior issues". I was getting phone calls almost every single day from her teacher, the counselor, the caseworker, etc regarding her behavior. She was suspended nearly once a week! And shes only on the mild/high functioning side of the spectrum! It took them almost 6 months to place her in an appropriate classroom with a teacher who knew how to teach children with ASD and the difference was night and day! That teacher was excellent and all of a sudden the phone calls home stopped. She never got suspended again either. The whole process to getting her into the appropriate classroom was a nightmare and made my child's first introduction to public school miserable.
