See, here's the interesting thing is that it was put in my uh IEP, you know, he needs to forever be in special education because he's an anxious person.
Well, uh that's one way of viewing the situation.
But another way of viewing the situation is this kid is anxious because we've told him he's learning to his disabled, as any normal human being.
It's a natural reaction.
to any normal human being saying that you're not capable of doing anything in your life.
Therefore what we need to do, our task is to reduce his anxiety by showing him his highest strengths.
Now that's a whole different way of framing the whole IEP, the whole purpose of education of of that child than the way that it normally is treated.
Hey Debbie, thanks for having me on.
I'm so glad I could finally be on the show.
Okay, so I was always a very creative, quirky kid, I guess you could say.
I used to uh have a treasure chest of uh that that some of my mo my mom's friends made me of, like all sorts of different costumes and capes from different superheroes and I would without thinking that it was an appropriate wear, wear them to school.
Um I just was in ravisly curious and interested in everything.
And I also uh on top of that, I mean I had a auditory learning disability, which uh was uh made it very difficult for me to process things in real time.
So I really resorted to my imagination.
I had a really rich fantasy life, but no one could see that, of course.
And I
it really f kind of checked out and it creates quite a cycle because
The more I checked out, the more they'd tell my parents I think something's really wrong with your son.
And then the more that they would tell my parents there's something really wrong with your son, the more wrong I would suddenly perceive to be by everyone.
Um it's fascinating how that works.
