[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 290154, member: 6705"] Welcome to our little world!!! It's nice to see a Dad's point of view. In fact you could almost be describing my kids & husband - the kids' biomom (BM) was a real PITA and still is. We're still working on issues caused by years of the same. I am going to fifth or sixth the need for a neuropsychologist. In a lot of ways your difficult child could be my difficult child 2. He had been previously diagnosis'd ADHD (while living with BM), but the stimulants seemed to make things worse, and the diagnosis just didn't explain a lot. We started off the neuropsychologist process finally last month and the doctor says it's more than just ADHD could explain and that he didn't want to label difficult child 2 but Asperger's (my thought/wondering) was on the right track. difficult child 2 also has eating/sensory issues. difficult child 1 had anger issues (OK, [B]has[/B]) due to all the crud that BM pulled on her. We're working with that one. So I understand the meltdowns! (My difference? difficult child 1 is as big as I am and stronger than me...) Since it takes [I]forever[/I] to get into a neuropsychologist, as soon as possible request an IEP meeting with the school. Let them know that you are working with a neuropsychologist on behavioral and other issues, and that you want an interim IEP for this purpose until you can get a full diagnosis. DO NOT let them talk you out of it. Also DO NOT let them put a time limit of any kind on it. Lastly, sign only what you agree with. If they note something you do not agree with, make a note on the paperwork right next to that item stating you don't agree before you sign. As for the grandmother. Can you email her? If you can, you will have a copy of what you sent. Tell her that you would be willing to have her see your son supervised (if no one else, you and your wife!!!). You reserve the right to terminate the visit at any time for any reason. And, you also reserve the right to deny future visits. If she doesn't agree, no visits. (I'll PM you with another suggestion. Can't put it out here for identification reasons.) by the way, congrats on the custody. husband has had to fight for 7 years for our kids and we just got custody in March. [/QUOTE]
