[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 376600, member: 3184"] At age 5, my difficult child was so active and hyper that life was so hard. He could not think past the moment at hand, got in trouble in school constantly. For us, things really got worse in 2nd and third grade. He threatened to take a knife to school and stab a boy in the heart for taking his ball at recess. He was suspended and had to go to the office to be searched every morning for a week or two and have a risk assesment by the school psychologist, who gave him the additional diagnosis of Intermittent explosive disorder and told us to not let him take karate as he would be too dangerous and that he thought that difficult child would hurt us in our sleep and to hide all weapons or things that could be used as weapons. I think in 4th or 5th grade (I lose track, too many incidents) he took immodium pills to school and was bouncing the bottle around in his pocket telling the other kids that they were drugs that his gang gave him to sell. This almost warranted police involvement and the school had a manifest determination hearing and decided that his actions were a direct result of his disability (duh). He was suspended and not allowed to go on the overnight field trip. He missed so many field trips in elementary school, missed so much fun stuff. Started to hate school. Now he will be going into 7th grade. Last year? He went on one 3 night field trip and one 2 night field trip. I was only called once due to an incident, though he did have others the school was able to handle them. When my grandfather was passing away, he made me a salad because he said I was having a tough time. Thanks in part to his new school, he once again enjoys school and is becoming more confident and his self esteem has grown. They are enjoy him and see that he is truly a good kid at heart. When he acts up at school, they for the most part deal with it and talk it through with him. If he was in a traditional middle school? He would have been suspended I don't know how many times and most likely had police involvement also. He is able to see others peoples emotions (at times) and (at times) is aware of his own emotions and also aware that his medications help him. He is more in touch with his emotions, and has been working well with his therapist and psychiatrist. We still have bad days, lately he has been really wound up and pretty out of control, but so has life at home! It is nice to see the maturity set in, he just matures at a different rate than other kids. [/QUOTE]
