Was out on the playground with my class today(level 4 autism) the gen ed teacher, that one of my students spend 30 min a day with, came out and said hello to me while walking right past my student….WHO IS ALSO HER STUDENT. I prompt my student to say hello and her response is oh he never talks to me. He’s nonverbal not an idiot! He loves high fives and fist bumps. When you talk to him he smiles and shakes his head and nods. He adores hugs and head rubs and is very good at making you understand what he wants. He also has very high receptive language skills.

So what do I do? Make a nuisance of myself. Instead of a para going with him to his next gen ed class I go and proceed to narrate every single communication he gives me to her while “encouraging” her to engage with him like she does her other students. I will be proceeding to do this every day until improvement is seen. I have a student going into her class next year so I need her to get a clue on how to treat and interact with these kinds of students

On Bumble bff met a girl who is a painter. She said she wanted to use one of my pics as inspo for one of her paintings. It is a picture of me at my wedding. She offers to pay me for it and I tell her Indont need money Id just want a print copy of the painting fo myself. She responds that she had problems in the past with people trying to sue her for using pics for inspiration without paying them so she dosnt want to chance it. Truly I don’t care of someone uses the picture even without telling me for inspo because anything on the internet is free rein as far as I’m concerned. I don’t put anything private out. Is this a scam? I’m tempted just to ask her for a dollar because she has other artworks posted and I think

Her style on tha picture would be dope. What is the scam here?

Someone is saying they want to use one of my pictures as inspiration for a painting. I said I don’t care about them paying I would just like a copy and they said they had problems in the past with people

Accusing them of taking pictures without payment so they want to make sure I don’t by paying me. What’s the scam here?

Just got a new student an the verbal stimming is intense. He’s obviously had no outside soothing or self regulating strategies taught to him and spent a lot of time alone. He has noises for everything, happy, sad, hungry, interest, wanting to take a walk, etc. at no point is he quiet. I’m about to jump out a window and he’s been attacked multiple times by other students who just cannot stand th constant noise. I’ve had a headache for two weeks straight. I got earplugs to see if it would help and it did not. I was curious so I had my phone measuring decibel and there’s were many times a day we were in the 100s. We take him for walks just to get him out of the classroom to give the other kids a break from the damn noise.

What do I do!? I’m at my wits end here and it’s only been a few months. We’ve made no progress in tha time besides being able to actually take him into the bathroom for a diaper change(before we had to keep sending him home soiled because he refused to go into the bathroom).
