[QUOTE="klmno, post: 310177, member: 3699"] thank you for the response. I just got off the phone with difficult child. He apologized for being edgy at visitation the other day. His unit "head person" got his charge dropped because it was such a minor incident and she knows he's not being defiant in there. Someone at sd is going to talk to the PE teacher and he talked to the Spanish teacher about how to bring up his grade since it dropped so much within one week. He said now he has learned all the stuff he was having trouble with last week (??) This is all good, of course, but I told him (since I finally remembered- duh) that his IEP has some allowances for times like this so if he feels overwhelmed with it, we can help some thru the IEP. For instance, if he is supposed to be studying spanish words in a Department of Juvenile Justice unit with 17 other boys talking and watching tv, we can just find a way for him to have time at school to study them and maybe someone to help help him. Then, he said he's doing a hundred push-ups each night and he feels great now. This made me a little concerned about whether or not he's cycling. I have noticed that when he was what I would call hypomanic, he could do very well in school so no one at school noticed a problem before it turned to worse. (Still, the coping skills he's learning as described above are beneficial.) I asked if he's sleeping more or less lately and he said he thinks about the same. I reminded him that there are people around who can help- depending on what is needed, he has people at school, a therapist, psychiatrist he can see, and staff, so we can continue to talk about things and if this mood comes and goes, we will need to discuss it with these people so he can get some support and help. He seemed ok with that. I am comfortable that at least a couple of people there are really trying to help him and watch closely for signs of self-harm, etc. If this can help get others on the same page and help difficult child and I become more comfortable with his diagnosis, no matter what it is, then I will feel progress has been made. I know I have been on much lately and I apologize. It has been a time period for me where I am antsy about the job situation and am trying to get all paperwork pertaining to difficult child updated and distributed now while I have a chance. [/QUOTE]
