[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 114166, member: 3444"] Well, I guess if I were in your shoes, after alerting the school, I would just sit back and wait for him to come out. He's going to come out eventually. He's going to get hungry or need to go to the toilet or hopefully he'll just calm down on his own. If that means he goes in at noon, so be it. You'll have a much better chance of a less violent drive to school if he's calmed down and comes out on his own. Later today, you should probably take the knob off his door and replace it so that he can't lock himself in again. My difficult child 1 was VERY prone to this type of behavior when he was younger, and still gets this way to a certain extent when medications wear off. I have to watch my interactions with him in the evenings, otherwise he very easily spirals out of control and becomes very challenging. When he gets like this, the more I push for control, the more he fights back. When he's on his medications (stims), though, he's much different, and much more pleasant and cooperative. Good luck -- I hope he comes out soon and that in the mean time you can take some deep, relaxing breaths and enjoy that cup of tea! [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
