And realize they are being ran by mostly women. If the boy gets out of control, he is put on medication (I have very big beef with the medication industry's tie in with schools to the point I blame them also for making autism and adhd a bigger deal than it really is
Can't argue with this, I'm too old to have been brought through a predominantly female school system, about
half of my teachers were male in secondary school. But only one or two of them had that male energy and
presence that made the class hush just by them walking into the room. I also am too old to have been fed a
bunch of pills for my developmental issues. I was an exceptionally bright child, it gave me a pass for some of
the stupid sh1t I was always up to. We still had the cane when I was at school and I was introduced to Mr Whippy
on more than a few occasions, not that it particularly made much difference. My father is also autistic to some
degree and his way of coping with that was to join the Navy when he was 16 and have someone else make all
his decisions for him. My sisters son is 9 and as autistic as they come, more so than me and my dad combined.
At school they have essentially treated him like a defective female, labelled him and now he's on all manner of
medications to modify his behaviour. They won't refer him to a specialist school because they get extra funding
for additional classroom and playground assistants to help with his challenging (literally challenging sometimes)
behaviour, so he's a cash cow for the small village school he attends. He really does need some help but encouragement
and engagement work a lot better than drugging his fromage frais (the only way my sister can get a pill into him)
does. I truly worry what the state is going to turn that boy into.
