[QUOTE="Malika, post: 699203, member: 11227"] If I may say, you seem confused about whether your son is being naughty and defiant or whether he cannot help himself and needs help. I understand this confusion! I have suffered from it for most of my son's life. Sometimes the lines really are not clear, and the behaviour/attitude of schools, etc, does not help clarify them. From what you say here, judging on meagre evidence from the outside, I would say it is totally pointless expecting your son to conform and behave like all the other kids at this point. He clearly cannot and is expressing something rather graphically and with a great deal of insistence and, one might even say, "character" by continuing to behave as he does. What is your plan? To await the IEP and get further assessments and then keep him in the school system? I think you have to take a decision: who do you support - the school system or your son? If the former then you need to do everything to try to make him conform and be "good". If the latter, then you need to find a place where he is understood and accepted as he is. And that, as I know only too well, is as easy as finding four-leafed clover. [/QUOTE]
