[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 599574, member: 3419"] Welcome, ChristieLynn. Wow, does he sound like an Aspie! I would quit the yelling right now, if I were you. You are wasting your breath. He. Doesn't. Get. It. What he does get is that you are always mad at him. But he doesn't know why. If I could go back in time and change my parenting style when my son was 5, I would. But there's no time like the present. Go to a neuropsychologist NOW. A professional. Not someone who says you can't diagnosis at age 5. Sure, you can't give him a diagnosis of Conduct Disorder or bipolar, which he probably doesn't have anyway, but someone who can at least say that he's got developmental issues (such as the speech issue) so you can get interventions for him. No more days of teachers not being able to handle him. Wrong teacher. Wrong school. I agree with-the others, that if you really want him to stay in the VBS class, you should sit there for awhile and observe. My son got "kicked out" of daycare when he was 2. Actually, I took him out, just before they were ready to kick him out. It was mutual. His behavior improved within 24 hrs. Turns out that he'd had 4 new teachers in as many weeks. And Aspies hate change. What he needed was consistency. (Side note: they weren't fully qualified teachers, either.) Just one example of something to look for--consistency, routine. Also, maybe oral instructions confuse him. [/QUOTE]
