I want to send her a whole class of kids from here that range from nonverbal through highly functioning except I couldn't put the kids through her
Right? I was thinking that if her kid really did have Asbergers, she'd know it's not a bunch of hooey, so I'm inclined to think her kid is just a brat and the teacher was trying to be diplomatic by suggesting maybe he had some sort of disorder. There's no way she could experience what we have been through and say it's not a real thing.

Wow. That's sad. Feel bad for those attending the "party" :facepalm: . My guess is that in time, she'll come to realize what a jerk she was that day. I'm thinking part of it all was the whole mid-teen craziness/crisis that goes on with some kids, and the "me first" attitude. Don't completely give up hope on her yet -- think she just has some growing up to do.
Yea, I did take into consideration that she just turned 16 and had a tough summer living in a tent, no AC, here in NC. She hated any form of camping anyway. I also kind of vaguely remember being 16 myself and thinking how lame my parents were and how I was so much smarter then the old folks, however, I had enough sense not to say it out loud in front of them. To her credit... she liked what I got her. Or she, at least, did have enough sense not to say differently at the time. ;)

Dh cannot listen to that rendition. It makes him cry.
Talking about "It makes him cry".....Yesterday my private piano student's mom asked me to teach her daughter a different song than the one I had introduced to her the week before: "O Danny Boy". The mom claimed it makes her tear up and feel sad. On their own they chose an Alicia Keys song. I just went with it. "It's all good". :cool:

@Songbird76 with the closing of Rafi's planet watch you will need to make some changes to your AK time. This by the way makes me very sad with no replacement announced:grumpy:

I'm sad about it closing too. That was one attraction we have never done at WDW (the other being Disney Jr). We kept putting it off, saying next time. Well I guess there will be no next time.

Noooooooo!!! I was counting on that for DS! Shoot! Well, this kind of cements the idea that we won't be spending much time in AK. I see more resort time in our future!

Would he still like the two trails at AK? We like those, well except for the part in the Asia one with the bats. But they can by very peaceful and give a good view of animals.

No
Thank you for that. I hope you're right. She gets new toys a lot at his house and candy and cookies and fruit snacks, etc. So when she asks for it and I say no she says "I want to go to daddy's house" and it hurts my heart.
Don't worry about it, as @MySmallWorldof4 said. It's a manipulation thing to try to get what she wants. Think about it this way: if she had grandparents who lived closer and they indulged her the same way her father does, wouldn't she be saying the same thing?

It sounds like you're standing your ground, and she's just being three. The good thing about her being three is that she probably won't remember most of this and it won't be as hard on her as it would be if she were older.
