Autism Jakes BAD DAY at school (UPDATED)

in 2006 Jake came home with lots of strikes and X's. a strike is a warning for something and if the kid does it again it turns into an X.
So Jake came home from a terrible day at school and i filmed me talking to him about it and about my past as a kid.
One year later (Oct. 6th 2007) i asked Jake about that day and he remembered it with amazing clarity.
I'm able to do the same thing with memory and it shocks my friends sometimes. Not good about remembering phone conversations always though.
Jake hasnt gotten an X yet in school this year which is amazing.

Your mom broke a broom over your back? Hardcore, man!

I'm the same way with my memory too. Sometimes I don't remember what my best friend and I talked about the night before on the phone, but I can talk about all sorts of seemingly insignificant memories of what happened on a particular day 11 years ago.

yeah, chased me around the house until she caught me and got whacking until the broom broke! I tease her about it all the time and the only thing she says is "You deserved every hit you ever got!".

LOL...and i did! i loved pushing buttons.

Was Jake in kindergarten when this happened? He is talking so well-Ashton turned 5 in May and isn't this conversational yet--and he just started kindergarten. He's talking, just not conversational really.

[TheCommanders]

the first video is kindergarten and the newer footage is 1st grade. its about 10 months or so apart in time.Jake is 7.5 yrs old and 2.5 yrs ago there was no conversation.

Jake looks like he has a strong intrest in doing good in school.Phil dont you be laughing about getting kicked out of school in front of the kids.

[TheCommanders]

nah john, i believe in honesty. I do think it was funny how often i got thrown out of school and i have never been good at putting up a front with anyone in life.

What a cute kid..

[LetzNeverSplit]

He shouldn't be touching that little girl in such a rough way. She's a girl and she should be treated like one. Playing or not he needs to know how to respect girls at a young age and know that if he wants to play around like that then he should do that with boys.

@PhilCommander2 I believe some people PURPOSELY become teachers to fullful their God complex and if someone tries to correct them they can punish them because they are being "disrectful".

@PinkPunkyKat

I'm not trying to be disrespectful to teachers, there are lots of great ones out there but I have to agree w/you. I had some MAJOR issues with some teachers in school. Other teachers said I was their favorite student, but I acted the same in both classes. I just wouldn't yield blindly to authority, still dont. some teachers loved my independene and some hated me for it. Teachers are just like everybody else, some are cool and some are idiots and some let power go to their heads.

[PinkPunkyKat]

My biggest problem in public school was teachers who bullied and encouraged the other children to do the same. I am convenced certain people become teachers so they can become dictators on a small scale to fulfill their God complex.

@tacotacohoyhoy you are disturbed. There is no hope for someone so hopeless. Pray cannot help such a damaged individual. Look at you username, it's proof of your dementia. Stop stalking me, before I press charges against you and your parents.

@nrbritton Naturally, a childish reply. You've affirmed my original comment :)
