[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 197911, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm glad you found us. Sorry for all the questions, but your answers will help us help you. What kind of doctor diagnosed him? Is he getting interventions for AS -- speech, Occupational Therapist (OT), academic accommodations/services? Has he seen a neuro for the epilepsy? Why isn't he taking an anticonvulsant for his seizures? Did you know that Temporal Lobe Epilepsy can affect emotional regulation and therefore cause aggressive behavior? Did you know that Geodon can lower the seizure threshold, resulting in possibly more seizures? To answer your question, if your difficult child (gift from God -- the challenging child who brought you here) has several disorders that are causing behavior problems, I strongly suspect harsh punishments will not change that. The first order of business is to set up appropriate interventions to help his behavior improve (medications, therapy, academic accommodations/services). Furthermore, any consequence to his behavior should be related to the situation. Perhaps a weekend missed at the park and then one-on-one supervision at the park thereafter would be more fitting. Again, welcome. [/QUOTE]
