How much would the average yr5/6 teacher know about autism?

[insanityscratching]

Say a teacher with 25 years experience in an average size primary. I'm eager to build a good relationship with dd's new teacher and don't want to insult her intelligence so at dd's IEP meeting next week would like to be able to assume that she would have some level of knowledge but should I?
All chats so far lead me to believe she knows the stereotypes (but dd doesn't fit any of those ) but would I expect her to know more than that?
She was chosen for dd because her skills will suit how dd learns and she runs a tight ship, has clear routines and her class is calm and quiet so I'm hopeful it will go well again this year.

I think very little. I am a teacher and I am frankly astonished at how little some of my colleagues know. (I have two dc with ASD). When I speak to dd's teacher I think she knows virtually nothing, although means well. that said it is very individual she may have some knowledge so perhaps it might be best to ask if she has had other autistic children in her class in the last few years and also explain that your dd's ASD is quite different from some of the more stereotypical notions of ASD. I hope it works out well. My dd also has a very experienced teacher. Tbh when I did my teacher training autism and special needs was barely mentioned. I hope this has changed but I wouldn't bet on it.

But there are plenty of ways of telling her what she needs to know without insulting her.

After all you ain't teaching her about autism - you're telling her about your DD.

In my experience, very little, other than stereotypes.
But in saying that, all of DSs teachers in his current school have been fab with him, with minimal input from me. They all noticed different 'quirks' of his and were great at dealing with them even if they didn't know they were down to his ASD.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it all. Dd has had two brilliant years because her last teacher and I worked as a team to get the best from dd. Dd's teacher this year isn't the most approachable and I get a hint of "don't question my experience" from her which will be difficult because dd will fit none of her stereotypes.
Already had a chat where she explained that she had made a joke and then reassured dd that she was joking and wondered why dd was rolling her eyes (because she has a wicked sense of humour and picks up on really subtle humour and dd was probably thinking "I'M NOT STUPID")
It's difficult starting afresh particularly when I don't find it easy to hand over the reins unless I feel confident dd is understood and treated sensitively.
