The continuation... inclusion?

It's been awhile since I've written here. I've been sharing my experiences though but everytime I do, I've been told to write it down. I am not sure where to write, but a public domain like this sounds like a good idea: a permanent, I hope, repository and as mentioned, in my profile, my way of sharing my story to those going through the same adventure.

At five years old, though still not quite verbal, Gordon started afternoon kindergarten. I specifically instructed my nanny to bring Gord to school half an hour prior to the start of class so he would have chance to mingle with the other kids in the kindergarten enclosed playground. The other kids, unaware of his diagnosis, enjoyed having him around. Gord had fun with them, all smiles alternated with laughter, yet barely verbal. My nanny reported to my her observations.

One afternoon, my nanny informed me that the teacher had disallowed Gord to come to the school premises prior to the start of school. What?

To my understanding, the school had accepted Gordon to be included in all the curriculum. The only thing that differentiates Gord with the other kids is that he as an educational assistant (EA) with him at all times.

He's not allowed in the school premises since the EA is not yet available.

But I was not asking a second of extension in the EA's time. Precisely, I hired a nanny to oversee Gord until he was handed over to the EA.

Did they want Gord to just stay in the front parking area?

They knew for a fact, that he was fascinated with cars and vans, and if left alone, he would peek underneath the van or crane his neck to view the vehicle's interior.

With all my effort, I fought hard to have my argument heard.

They conceded. But deep inside me, I knew that this incident would be the start of the many challenges I would face with the school system.
