[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 420790, member: 7948"] Hang in there. I am so glad you took charge by having your advocate come to the meeting and letting the pediatrician see and hear how impossible things are right now. You did that. Take credit for it. It would not have happened if you had not stood up and claimed your power to get help. Glad you feel like you have some strategies to help you manage things better at home. What happens at school is the school's problem - NOT yours. Sounds like he needs one-on-one supervision at the minimum but like I said - that is for them to figure out right now. While it can be helpful to have a diagnosis, sometimes you just have to wait for the child's development to unfold and reveal more clues or patterns before it can be clearer. I think what's most important is to get some things ruled out - like clearly ruling out seizures/organic brain disorders or other possible medical causes for some of the behaviors. It would also be really helpful if the neuropsychologist or other docs can make some intervention and placement recommendations. It's my opinion that genetics can be a powerful player in the way our kids develop - more powerful than most of us would like to admit or acknowledge. If he's like his bio father then your observation about his father may be very helpful. I would be sure to tell the neuropsychologist the ways in which you think your son and his father are similar. Thanks for coming back and keeping us posted. And I am so glad that you have found our suggestions and advice helpful. Patricia [/QUOTE]
