[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 485726"] Wow. I am sooooo sorry you and DS are having to go through all this. I understand the frustration about the sd AND the finances completely. I have been there on both fronts (financial is only getting worse here too). I really don't know what else to tell you. You NEED to get an advocate asap before things get any worse. Since he is only in Kindergarten, I don't see things with the sd getting any better unless someone pushes their backs to the walls. An FBA is also supposed to list possible reasons WHY the behavior is happening, not just data showing how often. If the WHY isn't there, they didn't do an FBA. The school is not the one that does the diagnosing. You mention a "P-DR", is that a Child Psychiatrist? If he/she wouldn't look at a BASC then you need to find a different psychiatrist. I wish there were some easy answers but unfortunately there aren't. All I DO know is that you can't fight the sd by yourself, at least not since they sound a LOT like the one here. I was on the verge of getting a lawyer because they wouldn't even listen to my advocate or their own Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) specialist. The reason we didn't is because they caused difficult child 1 to go into such a DEEP depression that I pulled him out (after the psychiatrist ordered him "Homebound" for the remainder of the school year. That's how bad it got. You're being bullied by the school and your son is being set up to fail. But, without an accurate diagnosis, I am afraid they are not going to cooperate. I really feel for you and wish I could be there to support you. I have learned how to be a b**** with the sd and put up a good fight. I would LOVE to fight one for someone else. This infuriates me to no end!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
