[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 559495, member: 11791"] If neither threats nor positive interventions have any impact, then there would seem to be only two possibilities: 1) there are other issues at play - either missing dxes, or things that have happened in the past at school, or how he feels about the current placement... something is going on 2) sometimes, the only thing that works is to change the setting... different school, different approach, etc. Asperger's is the overriding diagnosis here. ADHD... exists to some extent in Aspies anyway, and cannot be, given as a formal diagnosis (may be given for school reasons, or to provide more definition and guidance on what flavor of Aspie this child is) if the child has the Asperger's diagnosis. Mood disorder - may be primary, or secondary. For example, secondary depression and/or secondary anxiety are the result of the environments and experiences the child has been in and/or is in now. In which case, you have to solve the underlying issues in order to affect the mood disorder. ODD... is a really odd diagnosis. There really isn't anything much that works for ODD - no interventions, accommodations, medications. But, many of us have found that the behaviours that are part of ODD usually have a cause. Has he ever been evaluated by an Occupational Therapist (OT) for sensory and motor skills issues? Sensory issues are HUGE - and very common in Aspie kids. Often results in overload... which results in behavior issues. Who gave the Aspie diagnosis? How comprehensive was that evaluation? [/QUOTE]
