[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485893, member: 12886"] STM I am having an I can relate day. Thank heaven the right person was with Q when I got called to school. We switched to short acting ritalin from Concerta to see if it would make a difference, I will post the story, but bottom line, he refused first school dose (routine change) and So by the time I got there first morn dose had worn off, he grabbed my scarf which I had around my neck twice, he pulled so hard I could feel it tightening... he wanted the scarf, he likes the feel, but hten got mad and started hitting and kicking... His DAPE teacher was tehre and they got him away, I got him to take the medications, but 20 minutes later he happened to see me in teh office iwth my phone and ran in and started going APE, no admin around, thank God. teacher got him out...he thought I was going to call the police, but I had said we need mr P whose name sounds like police unfortunately. fight or flight, i thought they WOULD call the police, but we got him calmed....sure enough 1/2 hour after medications he was good and I hear he has been ok since...but that rebound time when the first dose was off and new one not in... he was saying he was gonna kill everyone, and he was so upset. HE has done nothing at school, is "playing possum" and really doing nothing. I think it is not worth his going. I dont know what to do... I am scared too, what if police do get involved with these kids who are developmentally too young and have autism??? they would not survive well in a traditional behavior setting, it is really awful. I am sorry... really sorry for him and for you. I sure hope the partial program can help find some answers. Dont assume the kids would be lower academically if he is in a smaller class.... my students in those kinds of classes are often of the charts smart. We even pull in gifted program teachers for them. But if he has AS then you may not want an Emotional/behavioral setting... try for an autism program. Our area has two charter schools for AS. does yours have anything like that? [/QUOTE]
