Ok so my son is in kinder and he has to do these sight words. He must be hyperlexic but he is on the 600 list. Anway so the teacher only tests on Fridays and every kid is at a different level.

ASD kids are also very rigid about schedules and such and if Friday is test day then well... FRIDAY IS TEST DAY! lol:D That kind of thing drives my son crazy too. I would remind the teacher that it is important to prepare your son for any changes in routine in advanced to avoid meltdowns in the future. We've had some teachers over the years that are better at this than others. Many times the school will report a melt down and when they explain what happened to me I instantly see what the trigger was and how it could have been avoided. But the teacher has 20 other kids to worry about besides my son so I can see where things fall through the cracks sometimes.
