I've had to deal with teachers/social workers/principal for my 9 year old (she has adhd and had a very unflexible teacher last year). Because she has a diagnosed "disability" they are legally required to make changes, but my son doesn't have a diagnosed disability, they see nothing wrong with making him miss out on recess.

My son was assessed for special ed in preschool, but most of his scores were really good, except his processing speed. I am so frustrated because it's not HIS fault, it's just a part of who he is and I don't think he should be punished for being who he is.
