[QUOTE="minkymom, post: 12440, member: 766"] Hi-I have not been here in sooo long. I used to visit quite frequently, then life took over. [img]:grin:[/img] Here is my dilemma and I'm hoping for some advice. My difficult child is now 14 and a freshman in HS. Middle school was the pits. Suspensions and detentions mostly because he can't keep his mouth shut. [img]:mad:[/img] Just blurting out and talking back. No swearing or physical problems. Because he had the diagnosis of ADHD at the time, we didn't qualify for an IEP. We could have gotten a 504 in place, but the school made alot of adjustments without the official 504. I suppose it was better for them. In the last few months of 8th grade, his MD changed his diagnosis to possible Borderline (BPD). He is being treated with Lithium and Zyprexa. He has no learning disabilities that have been noted. He just doesn't do his homework or try to do good. He basically doesn't care. "It's my life."
