[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 396041, member: 1550"] Actually, he sounds like he has some spectrum issues himself. If it walks like a duck, it's a duck! Has he ever been assessed by a private neuropsychologist? If not, I'd set up an assessment ASAP. An ED/BD label is not appropriate for a child who may be on the spectrum. Also, the spectrum does run in families, but can appear very different from one child to the next, even in the same family. He can get help in his home school, but in my opinion he has not been assessed well enough for the school to know what to do. A lot of spectrum kids get violent when they freak out and have to transition or go into a situation they can't handle (like maybe 22 kids). My daughter is in a class with a very high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) child who is brilliant, but he probably needed a smaller classroom. He hit his teacher when he got frustrated (normally he is a very sweet boy) and now he has been sent to a school for ED/BD. It's too bad because the boy has a lot of potential and will not do well with kids who act out. He will fight back. And he spits too! I'd look into another evaluation. NeuroPsychs can be found in university and children's hospitals and they do extensive testing. A regular therapist, even a psychiatrist could easily miss Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and give it a title with a lot of labels that, when put together, actually mean Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Good luck, whatever you decide to do :) [/QUOTE]
