[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 439504, member: 12227"] I have often said the same thing about my 10 yr old Daniel. His therapist and even his teacher have worked with him on calming behaviors ie: counting, warm bath, removing himself from the situation that is upsetting him. Some have worked but not all. His teacher this past year was awesome in working with him. He had a signal for her (hand on his forehead) to let her know that he was having a problem. It had been arranged that when he did this she would let him go either to a male teacher that he respected or the asst prinicipal that he respected. Sometimes all it took was a cool down period outside the classroom on the bench. It is so much harder now that school is out. ACK We have an 90 min drive to his psychiatrist and therapist every two weeks. He has said things to me that are so mean on these drives that it hurts my heart. I have learned to pick my battles with him and generally just keep quiet when he is going on and on. A short while later he will calm down and say to me "Mom, I bet those mean things I said to you really hurt your feelings and I am sorry. I don't know why I act that way". [/QUOTE]
