Autism is the new diagnosis du jour.
Did you know there's also now something called *Oppositional Defiance Disorder* where the kid does the opposite of whatever he's told?
In the old days, we called it rebellious, and took care of it appropriately.
Now they are coddled and reasoned with and negotiated with so as not to *trigger* them.
I am not kidding.
A lot of kids are labeled as autistic who aren't but are rather anti-social. In short, I don't trust the diagnosis any more as I think it's too widely applied when it's just an excuse for bad behavior.

Had not heard this! Schools have gotten lazy.
“A lot of kids are labeled as autistic who aren’t but are rather anti-social.” anit social or just bad parents?
Oompa loompa doompety doo
I’ve got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you’ll listen to me
Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a siamese cat
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who’s to blame
The mother and the father
Oompa loompa doompety da
If you’re not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
*Oppositional Defiance Disorder*
It’s not new.
Oh how I wish the parents of these kids would homeschool.
