[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 553325"] You just described my difficult child 1 to a capital T. What's the fear about? I was relieved to finally know the WHY of everything we were dealing with. Now that I know why, I know how to get the school to help and I know how to avoid most situations that used to cause HUGE blowups. difficult child 1 was also very aggressive when he was younger. He could recite the "rules" but did not generalize it to all situations. He could tell me that hitting hurt Jimmy and he knew that but if Jimmy did something to him, all rules went out the window. It also meant that hitting doesn't necessarily hurt Fred. Know what I mean?? If you can get it ruled in or out, even the private school has to "help" him rather than punish him. They can't punish a kid for "having" a documented disability. I am so glad I'm not operating in the dark anymore. I'm glad I KNOW what I'm dealing with so I KNOW how to help my kids. We went through several years of h***, especially with the schools here and the damage it did emotionally to difficult child 1 was brutal. I really think you should get Occupational Therapist (OT) started sooner rather than later, also. He has such HUGE sensory issues that they need to be addressed before you're going to be able to deal with anything else. I guarantee you it will be a worthwhile "investment" in his future (and yours too)...... IF you get a "good" one. [/QUOTE]
