[QUOTE="buddy, post: 466281, member: 12886"] wow, i just dont know what to say specifically to help but I really feel for you. I can certainly relate to a child who just does not get the same intrinsic rewards for doing things or trying as neuro-typicals. My son could care less about grades, they are off his radar. His IEP says he is graded based on his IEP goals because he has cognitive delays so can't perform at grade level, but still, he doesn't have a clue what grades mean and what they will earn him in the future. In his case other than finishing school he wont earn much with them anyway so I dont even bother worrying anymore about it. But he loves school (being there that is) mostly due to the routine...so at least we have that. wow, to deal with a jerk of a psychiatrist....sorry you have to wait for what feels like forever to see another. Do they have a cancellation waiting list? Might be worth being on that. I sometimes can even imagine myself in your position to a degree FOREVER since my difficult child is so disabled. Yikes, I am so sorry for you. Please know I care and wish there was an easy answer (you didn't say if there is an IEP or school category he is taught under....If he is, time for a new FBA...they need to attack these behaviors on their end in an appropriate way, grades and failing him are not enough of an intervention method for him obviously) IF he is not, well time for one! smile.
