[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 706732, member: 1550"] If he is on the autism spectrum, and to me it sounds like more than ADHD, that would account for much of his school behavior. No matter how smart they are they greatly lack social skills and many blurt out or sing inappropriately. They need interventions, not just academic adjustments. Many autistic kids dont have good hygiene partly due to sensory issues. The feel of a shower could hurt them or sound too loud. They are sensitive to touch, noise, even smell and textures of food. Breing sad makes sense if he is misunderstood and always in trouble. These children are different. I have an autistic son, now grown, and your son's school sounds inflexible and clueless about autism. He needs a good evaluation...i took my son to a private Neuro psycologist. Frankly, most school testing stinks. You get what you pay for. Garbage snd wrong labels. Dont let the school do this. Its too important. As for Dad he sounds clueless too. I feel bad for your boy and am not sure what you can do about Dad. Some of his behavior such as fire setting and arguing may be something else but also may just be a very sad little boy who is frustrated that he is Neurologically different and can't help it, but is treated as if he were bad. Except for you, sadly nobody seems to be on his side and just think he is a nasty kid which is not true. Is he getting any autism interventions? My son did and it changed his life. He is an independent happy 23 year old who lives on his own and works and he is still a little quirky but everyone loves him. Also, autism and ADHD are neurological differences and not psychiatric problems. Psychiatrists are NOT the best at diagnosing autism. Neuro psychologists, which are psychologists with extra training in the brain, do a much better job diagnosing. Your son is a good kid. He just needs to be taught how other kids think and act. He needs patient, informed educators, not this fake special needs school. They don't get him AT ALL. Sadly I had to educate my sons Special Education teacher in public school. Happily she was eager to learn,loved my son,and made a huge positive difference in his life. Be proactive!! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
