I really need some support from people who have been there.
Background-
Brendan is extremely smart. Lacks social skills, patience, manners, respect, etc. He was finally diagnosed with ADHD last year and was put on Ritalin and Celexa for his social anxieties. (scared of crowds) He has not hit anyone since he's been put on these medications but right now he is suspended for bullying. He and his friends decided to make a list on "How to kill Eric" - a child who is overweight and very slow. Brendan says Eric gets on everyone's nerves.
Anyway, he is showing ZERO remorse which is usual for him. It is like he is missing this empathy chip in his brain. He always tells people the truth point blank even if it hurts their feelings. Right now we are reading books on patience, respect, manners, tolerance...you name it.
I don't know what is wrong with the kid. This is his second suspension. Last year before he was on ritalin he hit his teacher.
He has a 10 yr old brother who his a perfect student, lots of friends, social, manners, respectful
I border on being mad at Brendan or feeling sorry for him.
Any mothers like me? Also, very intelligent and intolerant of kids that don't "get" things at school.
Thank you!
Michelle
