[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 314563, member: 3493"] in my humble opinion, if this child is Asperger's at all, it is comorbid with bipolar. I have never known or heard of a purely Aspie child being this violent and, being the mom of such a child, I have over the years come to know many such children. My oldest son attended a special HS geared to Aspies and there was not one only Aspie child who was violent. I guess what the doctor meant about benavior mod not working is that if it is BiPolar (BP) or schizo-affective or the like that b-mods can't/won't work till the underlying condition is treated with medications. As for the dad not cooperating with an IEP, in my state and since this is mostly governed by federal law, I would think in other states, the SD has the right to refer and to seek legal action against parents who don't cooperate. I know on this board we generally disapprove of the SD trying to force anything on us, but this might be that one case where the SD's authority can prevail. If the child becomes violent and is without an IEP, then he can be suspended, expelled, etc. but with an IEP, he might be able to get a referral to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or even a day program. Good luck to you and your older son. [/QUOTE]
