Hi there,
Dd is diagnosed aspergers/anxiety/adhd, gifted with full scale IQ of 141 and is in public school for eigth grade but is only attending school in the morning for non academic classes and then she comes home and works on the school curriculum...this plan started in March as she could no longer cope with being at school all day... Middle school has been a nightmare...school just doesn't get her....staff have downright lied and refused to follow recommendations of outside evals... Trying to make a decision about the possibility of homeschooling for next year...she has no interest in learning typical high school curriculum....prefers to watch movies over and over and draw and read fan fiction...however she does what is assigned for the most part...
Just looking for ideas on what others have done with kids like her...online? Piece together? Anything would be appreciated! At such a loss...
