Well, 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 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 have a treasure chest that some of 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 inappropriate, wear them to school.
I just was rabidly curious and interested in everything.
And I also, on top of that, I mean, I had an auditory learning disability.
which 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 really 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 that there's something really wrong with your son, the more wrong I would suddenly perceive to be by everyone.
It's fascinating how that works.
