More money for union schools... Can parents collect disability for kids who start talking late?
It’s all about the money. They get more money the more special kids they have. That and the power to play God and declare the fit and unfit according to their liberal religion.
My nephew’s preschool teacher tried to say he was autistic. Forget the fact that she was a piss poor teacher who couldn’t control her class, the woman was drunk with the power she had over those kids lives and tried to bully my sister with veiled threats.
What the teacher didn’t know was that my sister knew the principal very well and she put some black marks on that teacher’s record. It could have easily went the other way.

My 2nd grade teacher had gone to a conference of dyslexia the summer before I was in her class. While I would not call what she did diagnosing she did point out symptoms that led to the diagnosis. By 7th grade I was reading on a college level.
