[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 367379, member: 7916"] Hi, Does your son have an aide at school? If not, it sounds like he could benefit from one, especially during unstructured times. This is precisely what my son's aide helps him with. But, you generally need a diagnosis to get an aide. Sometimes labels are just a means to an end with the school district. In my experience with my son's school district (which has been very accomodating and has given us more services than I ever hoped for), the school psychologist and the sp ed staff don't have the expertise to decide what services are needed until they have an "expert" provide a label and tell them what is needed. What looks like ED to the school could be an autism spectrum disorder or a mood disorder, neither of which warrants moving to an ED school. Like your psychiatrist, I hate labels, but I think a label could go a long way in protecting your son in this case. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
