#Autism and School - Where's the disconnect because I'm really frustrated

The first mistake I made was asking Gavin to clean out school binder this evening. My second mistake was asking to see the papers before he through them away.

This is one example of what Lizze and I found...

It's absolutely clear that Gavin didn't read the directions or he can't comprehend the directions. I'm honestly not sure which it is.

This paper is dated the end of January and we are just now saw it.

I can sorta understand how Gavin could *forget* to show us but why are we not hearing about this from the teacher? Where's the disconnect?

Perhaps Gavin was told to show us but never did? That's what was happening in Math if you remember and it certainly isn't beyond him to purposely *forget*.

The concern we have is that we learned last week that Gavin is just about failing English/Language Arts. This would be a really good indication as to why...

Lizze and I are going to have to get to the bottom of this because Gavin is going to fail if we don't.

We've been distracted a lot lately by a whole bunch of different things and I'm afraid that we're sorta missing the boat on Gavin's education because we've been so focused on his health.
