[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 289090, member: 1233"] It seems he may have reason to be afraid of strangers, esp with the way he was abused at school. I didn't tie that thread with this one, for some reason. I am slow sometimes. Poor guy. He must really be terrified. Is there a developmental pediatrician that might help? Or an autism clinic? I don't know where you live, but the schools are terrible. I would be reluctant to send ANY of my kids to school in that school system. I think you may have to use medications to calm him so that you can find a way to let him know all strangers won't abuse him. Otherwise this might truly last for years. The longer it lasts the harder it will be for him to ever learn to trust. I would think about homeschooling if I was in your position. We homeschooled my daughter for the first part of first grade. Her kdg teacher advised me to. Most of the other kids in kdg that were girls were going to the local private school. She would have been in a class with 9 boys who were all related and who were all vicious. They were probably abused, but that wasn't MY problem. In kdt they started working to distract the teacher and whatever aid was there (6 of them required 1:1 aides, but the school only provided 2 part time aids - and they were spread over 3 classes!). Once the adults were distracted, another boy or 2 would pull a girl into the coatroom or bathroom and stick his hands down her pants. It was hideous. For kdg we moms started taking turns helping in class so there was always someone on the lookout for this in each classroom. We re-enrolled her after we moved out of state. So he may not function in a classroom until he gets some help. I hate to tell you to look to medications, but it sounds like you have tried everything else. Have the docs and tdocs at least trained you to restrain him so neither of you gets hurt? This way he wouldn't hit the other kids at least. But maybe it sends him into panic attacks that are out of this world. All I can do is throw things out htere. If they work, only you will know. [/QUOTE]
