Comment on Autism’s urban legend by Jennifer Laviano

Rick,

Thanks for mentioning my post on your site; it is greatly appreciated. I just was re-reading it to make sure that you weren’t interpreting it as endorsing in any way what I agree with you is an absolute urban legend, and a harmful one at that!

My reference to friends, family, etc. whose children I now represent was to the fact that I have known many people over the years who believed in this urban legend (among other myths surrounding special education) UNTIL they became parents of a child with a disability. My point was perhaps in-artfully made, but I want you to be clear that in no way do I believe that “extra help” for non-disabled children is motivating parents into IDEA disputes…at least not the hundreds I’ve met and represented! Thanks again for reading the blog.

I am a supporter of REED and this is an organization built from the ground up by a whole bunch of dedicated parents and friends. They work extremely hard to support the school and at the same time managing their time at home supporting their children with autism. I am looking forward to another event and encourge all to meet these wonderful people who have wonderful kids. Valentina
