[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 442184, member: 3419"] Welcome Tal627. What sort of doctor diagnosis'd your son? Does he go to a public school? Because you should be able to take the dr's report to a mtng between you, the school soc wkr, the assistant principal and several others, and ask for a 504. A 504 will allow the teacher to move his seat right next to hers, send you notes every day about his behavior, check off whether the assignments were turned in, etc. Don't call the same person you spoke to b4. Another thing I would mention is that whichever medication works best for your son, give it to him an hr b4 he has to actually get up. For us, it's Adderall, because our son is ADHD. It makes a huge difference. By the time he HAS to get up, dress and eat, he is calm and happy. B4 that, we went through what you are going through. It took us several wks to get the routine down but now it's perfect. If the diagnosis for your son was given by a soc wkr, make an appointment with-a neurologist/psychologist and bring copies of the paperwork from the "angel." Keep a journal of his behaviors and what times of day they occur. Have you tried dietary changes? Many of us here have our kids on gluten and dairy-free diets. It takes months but it's worth it. Also, I would establish a strict routine for your son in regard to bedtime. Sleep is VERY important. I would also cut out activities that you know for sure will aggravate him, such as loud restaurants, etc. He gets so agitated and ramped up that he cannot help but explode. Imagine yourself with-PMS, having just been fired, just got in a fight with-your husband, and someone rearended your car. That's what your son feels like if he's got too much stimulation, which may be something "small" like flickering flourescent lights at the mall. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
