[QUOTE="buddy, post: 492428, member: 12886"] Hi there. Have you ever had him go through a complete evaluation with a neuropsychologist? It sounds like you have figured out that his learning style does not match the traditional school setting. Did he ever have an IEP? IF he was being sent daily for an issue to the principal, then there should have been a child study on him and a referral for evaluation. You can still do that even if you homeschool by the way. You need to put it in writing and send the request to the Special Education. director and have it mailed return receipt. But the most important would be to have a neuropsychologist if you have not done that. Sounds like your hands are full. How can an 8 yr old refuse medications??? NO consequence works at all? I get it they can refuse to swallow, by the way..lol... I mean that really is a kid who can dig in if no consequence works for taking medications at age 8! (not a criticism, trust me, if you read posts from me... I have many unbelievable behaviors to deal with, haha) So, what does he do for socialization? Does he do any community sports or play dates with anyone? How does he play at home? What works and what does not work when you have these times when he is so oppositional with you? I promise there will be many of us who can relate. You will also hear that many here have at first had the adhd/odd diagnosis and as the kids got older, those changed to another umbrella diagnosis that covered both of those things. Did the medications work at all when he did take them? (maybe you said and I forgot already, sorry). Keep checking in... will be fun to get to know you. You have found a place where we all live it and understand it.... Kids who are a major challenge to parent. YUP, for sure you are not alone! [/QUOTE]
