[QUOTE="--Eleanor--, post: 43658, member: 3620"] Update: Well, the meeting with the psychologist went no better than expected. He began by saying that he didn't think my son's autism was the cause of his behavior problems at school, but that it was due to my husband's (he's the primary parent) poor parenting techniques, in that my husband tends to use humor and distraction to coax difficult child out of difficult moods. (My husband is actually alot like his own father was in that way, and he raised 3 sons just fine...) Anyway, we didn't let this guy set us off (although I think he was trying to) and went on to have him train us in his method for doing "time-outs." He said our method of doing them was "all wrong" in that we were having him do time-out in his room. So we re-created the schools's sytem in the dining room. Anyway, when difficult child got home from school, he thought it was great, and immediately set about doing the things he does at school to get time outs, so we would put him in time-out, which he seemed to really enjoy... He says he likes school, but I'm starting to think that what he likes is yanking the chains of all of the staff there who are trying so hard to deal with him! Well. The upshot is that if things don't get better at schoool SOON, he's out of there. I honestly don't know what is next. Unless we homeschool, I may have to fork over another bunch of money to a Special Education lawyer to make sure the school doesn't warehouse him somewhere... [/QUOTE]
