Hey, have these people ever worked with, oh, autistic kids before? Because all signs point to NO.

They were working with stunt autists before. They've never had to deal with a real one. Sean is a professional.

Or *any* kids. Kicking shoes off is normal kid behavior. And I couldn't tie my own shoelaces until I was in third grade.

We get notes like "Sorry for the ripped underwear, Miri got to them before we could get them out of range."

I swear we should put the boykid into her class

As a baby in the pram I'd kick my shoes off and cause well-meaning grannies to tell my mum my poor little feetses woudl get cold. I'm now 36. I go barefoot 90% of the time. They're fighting a losing battle here..

(also, apart from keeping him out of the house and presumably giving him a wider range of things to experience and people to drive his parents batshitfreakinginsane, what *precisely* is this place actually supposed to be doing? Cos they seem to spend way too much time fretting the little things...)

Send it. Seriously.

Ok, clean it up a bit, but send them (and their supervisors, bosses, etc) a nice little *postal* letter. Pointing out that they are requesting things that can't be done because they are mutually exclusive.

Not so seriously...

If it wasn't for the expense and the fact that Children's (dis)Services would get involved, I'd suggest outfitting the sprog in variations on some bondage gear. Comfortable, but it all locks on with little luggage locks (which you can get keyed alike).

Then, you give a school a set of keys and keep one for yourself.

They want him to take off the shoes, they hand him the key (on a *big* keyring so he'll have more trouble losing it).

Of course if they don't pay attention, he'd also remove the rest of the clothing, but hey...

:-)

ps. Just had a vision of you guys and Seaners living in a "clothing optional building. It'd solve a few things. :-)
