[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 627500, member: 1550"] Your son has a very serious, debilitating mental illness. It's not ADHD. It's schizophrenia. If this were my child, I would want him in a special setting, even a special school, that understands childhood schizophrenia. I'd say driving people away is the least of his problems right now. He needs to stabilize tot he best of his ability and have a low stress school environment. I mean,t his is all what I'd be thinking if this were my son. I wouldn't even bother with this school. I'd be calling the Dept. of Public Education to see what they offer for children with his serious diagnosis. He may learn better at home and they may have to provide it. Under no circumstances should he stay in a school that thinks of him as "bad" and does not understand schizophrenia and psychosis. He could hurt himself or somebody else very badly if he thinks something happened that really didn't due to his thought disorder and I'd be all about keeping him safe and getting him as stable as possible. I'm so sorry about this and hope he can find excellent treatment. School would be a backburner issue if this were me and it would be all about finding help for the illness. I was in a psychiatric hospital for ten weeks once and saw schizophrenic and schozoaffective people actually do really well on their medications and they were behaving quite rationally and socially acceptable by the time they left. It does take the right medication combination and compliance, which many don't do because of their illness. But they are not necessarily never going to be able to function. They just need time to get the treatment right. I am guessing the other kids may be teasing him or jawing off at him or making fun of him and this is so cruel to somebody who has his sort of mental illness. Big hugs for your hurting mommy heart.
