autism and BESD

Oldwoman75

my son has autism, learning difficulties and BESD, I'd never heard of BESD till I noticed it on his EHC, has anyone else experience in this and does it make coping any easier?

    Oh dear,

    Robert, how do you think your comment would be received by the OP who is a real person, with real feelings, with a real child who has real problems?

    I'm still upset at your comment, because I am a Yorkshire man and as the old saying goes we call a spade a spade.  And as a real child I had real problems and I certainly suffered from what is now called BESD.  And the experiences I and other similar children suffered were very bad.  Not just name calling but severe physical violence.

    I remember one particular day in a 'special' school I attended for a year.  When I was 9-10 years old.  This was actually in the grounds of a major hospital.  There were around twenty of us there.  All with emotional, social and educational problems.  On that day, two boys from the regular hospital joined us.  I think the idea was that it would be better for them to be in our school rather than spending all day on their hospital ward.

    Straight away they started complaining to the staff that we were a bunch of f-&_£&£_ e-_£_ m£### and they just wanted to leave.  This went on for a couple of hours.  They even started shouting at us to keep away from them and treated us as if we had some sort of infectious plague.
