[QUOTE="wintak, post: 431299, member: 11938"] I do have ritalin that I can give him in the afternoon but I swear it doesn't do any good (it's a 5mg) and/or he bounces even HIGHER than before he was on it. I've talked to the doctor about that but right now the possible side effect of risperdone is the issue at hand for the doctor. He has been tested out the kazoo for all kinds of physical and mental issues. He has come up with no Learning Disability (LD). Our previous psychologist and our currents ones have indeed touched on the lack of executive function. Not really how to deal with it, other than to know it's very far behind and he's going to need some guidance. But in this case, how does the lack of executive function come into play? He's arguing with me about stuff that is blatantly wrong. Just communicated with is literacy teacher...he's currently in 2nd grade, but his reading/comprehension is at an independent FOURTH grade level. WOW. NO ONE..and I do mean NO ONE in his immediate family (including gma) has ever seen or heard him read at a 4th grade level, much less comprehend what he read. It makes me wonder why he doesn't want to "show off" for us. So Daisy...what do you do? Just let it all go and let her turn in stuff that obviously isn't wrong even when you KNOW there are no consequences? And yes, it's depressing about the district, but like I said, it's not just his school doing this. Maybe if they'd quit cutting educational spending we could get more help for GT/Special Education/IEP's and helpers for the teachers. [/QUOTE]
