So my 19 yr old has been an extremely picky eater since he started solid foods as an infant. He has never eaten vegetables of any kind, or potatoes of any kind. He finally tried french fries when he was 14...but they must be perfectly done and not seasoned at all. He pretty much only eats meats...

Hey there. Like you, I just told my oldest son that he has 30 days to move out. I'm recently remarried, and this son in particular does whatever he feels like pretty much. We had a rental agreement (which he didn't live up to) and he has consistenly bailed on every family event for the last 6...

...a much needed respite. Sadly though, everyone is dreading his return :( It's unbelievable how much energy and attention this kid takes, Neither of us are working right now because it honestly takes both of us to deal with him, supervise him, and keep the peace between him and the other kids...

Well, the local person that helps with the paperwork to apply for the ICG grant managed to get the Sped coordinator at the high school to set up a meeting to discuss GFG2s needs in school. The previous school had an IEP meeting last september, before all of the testing and new diagnosis. They had him...

Well, I've been doing the IEP routine since my 19 yr old was 5 so I pretty much know the drill on regular supports. The last few years however this school district has been in a force mainstream routine. They flat out disagree with parents on what the kid needs, always teaming up to say what the...

nobody has any ideas?

...classes. BAD idea. They also want to put him in welding. HELL NO! OMG his therapist about went thought the roof at that. Give that kid fire? *sigh*. He is honestly to the point that he NEEDS a 1-1 aide at all times. NO regular classes without that. no homework. Special Education bus to and from. and...

...type? that's TOTALLY him. Superslow...and a standstill are his two speeds. he also has Dysgraphia which makes writing something he outright refuses to do. and his spelling is bad enough that spell check on the computer is pretty clueless lol. *sigh* poor kid. Heck of a hand he has been dealt.

Thanks MWM. Unfortunately there are no other schooling options here. The only exception is a school for behavioral problem kids that have for instance been expelled from regular schools for violence or drug use etc. The only other possible option besides home schooling (I could NOT do that...

...Plain and simple though he just doesn't understand what he's doing isn't ok, and can't internalize lessons from it. It's just who he is. *sigh* He's never been able to, but it's gotten worse the last 6 months. He's on a new atyp andipsychotic that we're hoping will help curb some things, but...

My gfg14 was suspended (one of MANY times this last couple of years). He had been sent to the dean's office for not doing his work. The dean left the room for a minute after reading him the riot act. difficult child had asked if he could have a piece of candy out of the candy jar on his desk, was told no...

Sorry to hear someone doesn't agree with something you said. But there's an old saying: you can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all the people all the time. Disagreements are going to happen. Sometimes people get offended...

He's my bio son. No problems with pregnancy or birth. No drugs or alcohol. He was the perfect child till he was about 2 1/2...and he's my 4th kid so I have a pretty good comparison there i think lol. He's been seeing the same psychiatrist for a few years now, but the guy only sees him for about...

See the thing is that he's had huge issues from the time he was 2-3 when there was a lot of traumatic stuff happen in his life. At first it was chalked up to environment, moving, terrible two's, preschool, then ADHD...but ADHD medications sent him manic, so he started seroquel. His oddness still...

As part of the ICG grant were applying for his psychiatrist must agree with the diagnosis. The neuropsychologist is already sending there report and supporting evidence to him, and he has an appointment with the psychiatrist on the 5th. This kid is perfectly smart enough to look up erosivity what...

He does hear things, yes. He also has very strange ideas and thought patterns that have no base in reality, and when you try to talk with him it leaves you wondering what ballfield he is in, cause he's not even out in left field, he's in a whole different park. Sadly the diagnosis really does...

Well, This is the first time I've hit up this board. Until recently my over 18 one was pretty much a easy child. my next oldest wasn't 18 yet. How things change lol. My 20 yr old used to be a great kid. He still mostly is, just basically driving us crazy. He's in his last semester of college (2 class...

Ok, just got this diagnosis for my 14 yr old, any suggestions on what I tell the school? what to put in the IEP? Havent got the detailed report yet, just a brief overview of what they found. So far this year he's done well, but last year was a disaster, and I have no doubt at some point he'll derail...

...there. I'm thinking it's time to ask for the Sped bus to pick him up and drop him off again. Considering that he shows he can't be left unsupervised anymore...*sigh* So, I'm open for suggestions, experiences, advice. Thanks for always being here when I need it...lol I'm like a bad penny I...

Thanks for the great responses folks. I need to ask the school to do an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. Got it. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), had to look that acronym up. difficult child 2 has had a psychiatric evaluation done, about a year ago. Turned out he is very slow to process things. like at the 5th percentile. his nonverbal language was also pretty low...
