[QUOTE="ineedhelpplease, post: 221136, member: 6484"] First off, I would like to thank everyone that has replied to this post so far. This site shows that people really do care and that there are others out there struggling to get by, day to day, with their difficult children as well. I don't believe that he has autism. He converses fluidly and very intelligently about whatever is being discussed. He looks people he knows in the face/eyes when conversing. He will look people in the face/eyes when I remind him. He will laugh then follow directions at that point, though. His mannerisms have always been adult-like. He was only around adults until he started kindergarten. He came home from kindergarten very disgusted with the other kids, because he said he couldn't understand anything they said. He said it sounded like a bunch of mumbo jumbo! LOL! I guess I'm just frustrated that he is getting in to trouble for stuff that has never been an issue until this new school. I mean, he has come a long way. He hasn't acted depressed in a year or talked about killing himself. He's no longer having anxiety attacks. Yes, he still shows signs of ADD. I don't know. Maybe, the reason for his excessive talking is due to him not being depressed anymore? Now, the running around the class just doesn't make sense, but the other stuff is ADD related. I would think. I'm thinking that the best step for him is for me to go to the conference and force an evaluation. He needs an IEP. I'm hoping to keep my son off of medications.
