[Blindtlk] this one aide is driving me crazy? how should i react?

[Ray Foret Jr]

Sounds to me like you're just going to have to get all in his face and bluntly tell you to leave you alone.  If he won't listen to you when you try to be nice about it, just get right in his face and tell him to leave you alone.  If your school has consequences for what he's doing, make him understand that those consequences will be visited upon him.

> On a second incident, when I was outside a classroom, I had to call my mom for something, and he came up.  After being told that I was on the phone, I was just about to leave the message when he began talking again in his loud voice, and I had to call her again.  When somebody knows you're on the phone, they should seriously JUST LEAVE.
> And maybe the worst was today.  He followed me the WHOLE ENTIRE last quarter of my math class.  He would tell me to turn left, even if I knew I had to.  And the weirdest thing was that when I was walking, I felt a trash can with my cane and went around it just as I was supposed to.  Then a couple seconds later he said, "There's a trash can." Yes, I know.  I went around it a couple of seconds ago.
> I really need help.  He really bugs me.  I'm assuming he might just be uneducated in blindness, as he is so used to working with learning-disabled and autistíc people and probably has to do a lot with them.
> I've considered telling my aide, but they're sort of friends and knowing who he is (I've had this aide for three years, same one I talked about about getting lost a week ago), I'm assuming he's probably going to make some excuse for Gregory (they're on friendly terms.)
> How can I get the message across to Gregory? Seriously if he doesn't listen to the fact that I'm about to send my mom a message, how am I going to expect him to listen if I talk with him firmly?
