[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 647708, member: 11791"] Jules... I know you've been through the whole evaluation thing, but... that combo of diagnoses leaves me wondering... Social skills deficits are very typical of people on the autism spectrum. If they are handing a spectrumish kid with punishment... it can be both a short-term and long-term disaster. Punishment does not work for these kids... AT ALL. He isn't choosing to be "mean" or "rude" or "disrespectful". I'm guessing he really "doesn't get it". There is a huge difference. And yes, even with an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis, it's hard to get the right help from school, but without it, it's much worse. [/QUOTE]
