[QUOTE="SRL, post: 6715, member: 701"] Welcome Rebecca. It's fairly common for children with behavioral issues to act up in either the home or school environment. My son was an angel at school and then we got the full rage treatment at home. It's very frustrating because almost inevitably the situation sets up a lot of mistrust (as in what are they doing wrong over there0. I would recommend this anyway but since there is an older sibling in the family with a neurological disorder I think you need to get the full works for an evaluation done on him. Get the assessment process at school started by putting your request in writing to the building principal. And see your pediatrician to request a private evaluation (developmental pediatrician or pediatric neuropsychologist, Occupational Therapist (OT) and speech). Neurological disorders tend to run in families and Autism definitely has a strong genetic connection. Parents who have multiple children on the spectrum often don't recognize the second child early on because their issues frequently have a different flavor to them than the first. Plus having a child with Asperger's elevates the risk that siblings may have something else going on such as Tic Disorder or Tourette's Syndrome. Hang in there. It sounds like your kiddo isn't handling the school environment well so it's important to find out the reason why. The school will deal better with him if they know you're in the process of getting an evaluation done. [/QUOTE]
