[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 379884, member: 1991"] Welcome. We had similar interesting problems with difficult child 1. He did well in K, but Year 1 was a disaster within days. We worked out that the K teacher (who other parents considered incompetent) just managed to do things exactly right for difficult child 1. But the Year 1 teacher was strict, nervy, a shouter. difficult child 1 was also described as severe ADHD. In his case, ADHD medications were a godsend but not a total fix. And it turned out to be more than ADHD. It's Asperger's in him. So he still takes ADHD medications, plus Zoloft for his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) stuff (goes hand in hand with Asperger's for him) and is doing well. Now. It was at times a rough ride and when look back I realise how much we failed him. But he is now married, working, in an apprenticeship. He and his wife are happy although poor as church mice. Do a lot of volunteer work at church, both of them. So there can be good outcomes later on. I never thought difficult child 1 would ever be able to live independently of us. He's amazing.
