[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 480831, member: 11339"] my difficult child does have an iep. he is in a Special Education classroom and has his own ea. i volunteered to pick him up when he gets out of hand and to keep him home on bad days because he hurts himself and he likes being at school so staying home is punishment for him. i am trying to work on him knowing he has to contain himself at school as much as possible if he wants to go there. autism class is not an option, they said he was too smart to go there and he didn't meet the criteria somehow when they tested him. there is also a 'conduct class' that is where he belongs, in my opinion but he can't get in there because he has an autism diagnosis. i try to work with him at home when he is here. we have been researching star fish this week. he hates working with me because at school he can refuse to work and answer 'i don't know' to everything if he is in a mood. here i don't put up with that if i know he knows. my other little guy does not have an official diagnosis as of yet. he started out like a normal kid and then after he started jk i don't know what happened to him. he was such a good baby/toddler. then one day he fell to the ground screaming and screaming for an hour and i couldn't get through to him. he hasn't been the same since then. the same thing happened to my 12yo at that age. since then he has all kinds of signs of autism but it takes forever to get a diagnosis, it took us 6 months just to get in to see someone who could start the referal process to see a psychiatrist. difficult child's psychiatrist used the 'it wouldn't be fair to all the other kids waiting' card to get out of looking at him until he goes through the system.... his teacher is aware that he has these issues, it's pretty obvious he is differen from the other kids. i have talked to her about appropriate discipline but at the same time i'm not completely sure what is appropriate. i have asked her to stop taking away his recesses for the next day because that just drags the problem on to the next day, and i told her it wasn't appropriate to keep giving him time out for not knowing what to do during free time. basically the teacher has admitted that he should be in Special Education too but they can't put him in there because difficult child is in there and they attack each other when they are near each other and have a tendancy to go overboard with protecting each other from peers which leads to way too many other problems.. i know i should not be embarrased but it is embarrasing because i know when they see the kids coming into the office they are thinking 'those kids' again type thing. i was just saying how much my 5yo was behaving better at home since i started giving him omega 3 and now he's snottier than ever. i feel like maybe i should have set a better example somehow because if i ever lose my temper they copy it and run with it, turning it into a regular thing they do all the time. like one day i called husband and idiot, which was more than well deserved. now idiot is my 5yo's favorite word. everything that doesn't work right is an idiot. everyone who is in his way is an idiot, ect.
