| If any student acted that way, he would ask them to leave too, so it was not discrimination. As for venting Cori, there is a thread for that, also a forum for teens. She was in the wrong. She used her AS as an excuse to get preferential treatment. I suggest you read full what the OP wrote. The way ... |

| This is outrageous! It's not called disability harassment, it's called discrimination and he needs to be punished for it! I would file a discriminatory complaint with OCR (Office of Civil Rights) naming the teacher and the school. He obviously needs some major training that the school needs to prov... |

| It does seem that the main issue is being overlooked, it wasn't an NT child having a tantrum it was an autistic child in a state of overload. The child was in great distress at that time and the best scenario was to remove the child. The mother should have realised that. On a personal level, I can't... |

To lighten the mood and the reading, here's a funny I found when looking up BPD:-
Also Known As:
Emotional dysregulation disorder; many other new names for this condition have been proposed. One pundit suggested calling it "Teenagers."
Yaya I'm a middle aged teenager!! !  |

| Reading this was like reading my entire last three years of school. In my school for a total of one year, i was given a small red card which had 'this student requires time out' written on it. All I had to do was get the teacher's attention, show it them and leave the room, no questions asked, no l... |

| Teachers have a hard job, if she was quite capable of saying 'I'm having a meltdown', then it wasn't much of a meltdown was it. I have freaked out, but I have left the room. It is not fair that 30 or maybe 40 other children have to take a test whilst one child sits wailing. The needs of many etc, wi... |

| Been thinking about this half the night...fell asleep and just woke up with this page still on the comp. It was only suggested I was borderline, so I have to wait. I completed a 200 question test, which, to be honest it bothers me. My outcome will rely on a paper test which at the time my mind was t... |

| To be manipulative I guess I would have to interact with people, but seeing as I spend my time avoiding them and quite happy avoiding...it seems a big part of the borderline symptoms are absent, in my case. I do not fear being left alone. I do not crave attention and would much rather be alone than ... |

| I know quite a bit about BPD. While I never went to see a psychiatrist or therapist (like, that would have required talking about personal stuff, out loud, which once upon a time was a no way for me), I totally think I would have been diagnosable. Past. No longer. I've healed from the wounds that c... |
