[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 295763, member: 1169"] That is just it Star. He begged to be in band, he begged to switch to drums, he begged to play baseball, etc. HE QUITS EVERYTHING. Since we are not big on quitting, we tell the kids they have to finish what they signed up for, so he just gets himself kicked-out. No punishment we have come up with has kept him from doing it. Piglet begged us last year to let him quit cross country (she was also on the team) because he was embarrassing her with his behaviors. So, he is doing okay with Special Olympics golf and that is once a week for another month or so. Then Special Olympics Track starts in March. In the meantime, he has junior high church classes,which we no longer force him to attend because he can tear up a class and these poor woman are untrained volunteers. So, I have no idea how many of them he will attend. His therapist talked with him about it and she said she thinks he got himself kicked out on purpose because he (1) didn't like all the work he had to put into the instrument and (2) too many peers and he was feeling overwhelmed trying to please everyone because the kids laugh when he is goofy but the teacher gets mad. She said that peer pressure is going to be a huge factor for him. She's worried he will withdraw into himself to avoid it. (He has already said that he wants to sit alone at lunch rather than explain to the other kids that he can't share food because of the gluten-free, casein-free diet.) [/QUOTE]
