When did this happen with your son, Tombdragon?
The teacher who said that is woefully ignorant of Special Education issues, and I would strongly suggest (assuming that the teacher is still teaching your child) bringing that comment to the attention of your child’s Principal.
I would suggest pitching the conversation wanting to help improve the situation for everyone involved.
An excellent place to start with a teacher who thinks this way would be with the F.A.T. City Video (also known as “How Difficult Can this Be?) from Rick Lavoie

Most school boards should own multiple copies of it.
There are also clips available on youtube. For example:
