Ever the optimist

Adam prefers the option of putting as little effort as possible into anything he does to achieve the desired result. I suppose it's a combination of genetics (he gets it from his dad), autism, and just being a seven year old boy.


Our goal for him in school is to be in a regular classroom setting as much as possible. He started by spending most of his day in a special education room and we've gradually worked into more time in the regular room as his behavior indicates. Recently, he has decided he wants to be in the regular room a lot more. His teachers and I all agreed that this is a good thing, even after discovering the real motive behind it... he has realized that he is required to do more work in the special ed. room.
