This year....he's taking trumpet....and guess what....his autism deficiency is GONE. I told my friend that they convinced the guy that it was a problem...and it became a problem. More to it....but basically, he didn't like parents yakking and yakking and would go play in another room.
That’s not uncommon. Very often, its experiences in the arts where students learn to excel. It’s a crime that schools are eliminating the arts in favor of test prep. They’re often missing those aptitudes which would cause a child to meet his/her potential.
I have seen this several times in my life, even with a friend as a child. The parents for some reason just assumed a child had problems. Then the child realized that they could work the situation and get favored treatment. All along there was not thing wrong with them and they were actually sharper than a tack.
