[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 148706, member: 3419"] Woo hoo! Congrats! I'm so glad it all worked out. You know, even with-o disorders, boys tend to like to yell and throw things instead of explain what's going on in the first place. Having something else going on, ADHD, Asperger's etc., multiplies it. Funny that your son was so anxious about the asst. principle. My son has been sent to the ofc several times and forgets to tell us! Last yr his teacher was SOOOooooo frustrated because nothing seemed to affect him. We finally had to surround him with-teachers, principle, us (parents) and do a sort of intervention, so he had nowhere to turn.:surprised1: I'd suggest that you get up about 10 min. earlier for the rest of the school year to make sure he's in an okay mood, gets breakfast, etc. so you can kind of scope it out, so if he has another meltdown it won't cut into his school time so much. Also, I've learned no to push as hard. It used to totally freak me out if he didn't go to school (as kids we had to go even if we were bleeding through our pores, and yes, I did walk to school when it was -20) so I've had to change my attitude a bit too. Now I've learned that the simple words, "Too bad you're sick. You won't be able to play with-Henry after school" will cause my son to fly out of bed and his illness to completely disappear. :funny: Hang in there. You're doing great! [/QUOTE]
