DS4 is diagnosed with adhd, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) autism and I would say he has odd. He is VERY smart!!!! He will be starting kind. next year. Well last year at preschool he was a holy terror. He wouldn't sit at circle time, wouldn't raise his hand, would try to elope, hit, bite, scream, all the above.
At home he acted just the same. Will not listen to us at all.
This is his last week of summer school and I called the teacher to see how he has been doing because he goes to the neurologist next week. She tells me he has been the perfect model student. I said what?? She started laughing and said yeah one of his aides from last year is in here and she said he is night and day from last year. He is sitting at circle. Answering all the questions and wants to always be the helper. No yelling, biting, pinching NOTHING!!!! He has been an angel at school.
Well he is still being a little turkey at home. BUT he can act nice when he wants something. He wanted cupcakes the other day so he was as nice as pie. Was saying please/thank you etc... When we told him no more cupcakes he turned back in to his screaming, biting, pinching fits.
He is currently taking risperdone .25mg 3x a day and trileptol 2x a day.
So I have came to the conclusion that he is not being disciplined right at home. Would you all agree? Does anyone have any techniques for disciplining a child with special needs?
thanks
