As somebody with an ASD I can really relate to the idea of hating change. The thing I hated most about school was the beginning, learning new everything and new rules. I was thrilled though when I started having the same teacher for years because they taught progressive levels of the class. (marketing->advanced marketing) Good for you standing up to them!

You and you alone know what is best for your child, and they have no right to pull the rug out from under Mira like that... I fought for my 2 learning disabled and 1 medically needy children for years. I finally gave up and after being told for years to make them hospital/homebound went to do just that, only to be told it was not an option! At that point I believed ZERO of what the school district told me, and made them home schooled, using the computer! My kids went from being barely passing to A/B students (mostly A's) working at a pace that works for them, and not being told if absent that the teacher could/would not reteach the lesson for them. I would be camped on the Board of Educations steps on Monday morning, waiting for proper placement... Do not let them bully you, and stand your ground girl.
