Autistics at Hyde School
Anonymous:
A child with autism needs their alone-time. That goes without saying.
A child at Hyde does not get alone-time. That also goes without saying.

About Us
Company
The Pioneer in Individual Communication Management (ICM). The power of communication using the power of software. iAbida.com is the pioneer in ICM for special people. Our name - iAbida means "father of knowledge" and we are providing this comprehensive knowledge base of communication among the teachers and parents for special people. These individuals can range from teachers, parents and babysitters for typical children to physicians, occupational therapists, social workers and speech therapists for special needs individuals. We are dedicated to providing leadership - and solutions for organizations and professionals who want to improve their communication ability. Why? Perhaps it is because the founders have experienced firsthand the need for a system such as iAbida in managing communications for teachers, family members and administrators and want to share this with others. Our solution is robust, yet rapid in implementing and gaining value from the application. iAbida was founded in 2004 by a team of software veterans and the parents of an autistic son. This experience was the trigger for developing the iAbida application and an ongoing basis for product development and evolution.

Haha. Yet at Hyde, their real understanding of human nature is so limited, they would see a psychologist as hindering their work.
Steege must be a friend of one of iAbida's other members.

--- Quote from: "Ursus" ---
--- Quote from: "modest proposal" ---Back in the day, Joe used to scream at kids with various levels of difficulties and tell them that their illness was choice, they needed to choose. So why doesn't Grandpa scream at Harrison. Tell him to choose not to be Autistic. When he is unable to change Grandpa can make Mom and Dad to toss him out on the street.
Of course I am in jest, but I just wish that some day before he dies Joe would realize just how many kids he did that to and get down on his knees and beg God for forgiveness. Then I want God to appear and tell Joe that Character is Destiny and that he is bound for Hell.

It is easy to see -- in extreme cases like those dealing with kids who have bona fide learning disabilities -- how atavistic and backward the "Hyde School difference" actually is. What kind of an "education" did those kids get, that was functionally any different than what they might have received in the 1930's? Actually... they might have been better off back then.
--- End quote ---
What kind of an education did the other kids get, as far as learning tolerance or appreciation for people's differences?
