Flamechick's teacher gets it!
Last year the teacher was very understanding, asked what she should do to help, but was more just following instructions. This year I think we have a winner!
Again, denial mother didn't mention anything to begin with, they changed the reading words system and all hell broke loose. So I went in and explained about her AS traits. All nodded and taken on board.
Thursday she had her SALT appointment (finally) for her speech - turns out she has all the right sounds, just goes too fast which is why it is unclear. But the SALT said she would speak to teacher to see if she had any other concerns. (She asked me if I had other concerns - I said yes, a whole list but not your dept
). Teacher said about her taking instructions very literally - I hadn't known that she had noticed that 
The SALT had noticed it too (some of the assessment pictures got interesting responses due to her pointing in slightly the wrong place and asking the question worded wrongly), so they are going back to the beginning to get her a LANGUAGE assessment Finally I feel like they have noticed for themselves
Teacher is also in agreement about getting someone who knows something to see her rather than comm paed.
It was so reassuring - I went in for a talk with her yesterday and came out feeling so confident in her
