You know, I'm getting damn sick and tired of this little bugger running the show around here.
difficult child 1 pulled his annual B.S. at school. Now, to continue the saga where we last left off, I moved him from a day treatment program that was abusing him into a Spec. Ed. school that has a high Aspergers/Autistic population.
They're subject to the rules/regs. of the NYC Dept. of Ed. The rule being broken annually is: Don't threaten to harm yourself or others and refuse to recant because you're a major PITA just to keep from going to class.
I don't think the DOE words it that way, but basically, that's the spirit behind it.
I was feeling a little run down today (change of weather always gives my sinuses a whack) so I closed my eyes while sitting on the couch. RING< RING! It's the new couselor assigned to him. The new principal (the old one PLUS all of the asst. principals who KNOW difficult child 1 and his methods retired) wants to know if I want to take him to the Emergency Room or should they call an ambulance.
Long story short, I get them to let me make an appointment. with his psychiatrist rather than the ER because I have a very strong reputation at the school, but they'd prefer that I keep him home tomorrow (when I could get an appointment.) so he could get a letter clearing him of his threats.
I'm just about at the end of my rope. I have to find a way to make some money from home because having all three of them with these issues makes it impossible to get out of the house on any regular basis.
I told him, I'm done with this stuff. Next time they take him in an ambulance.
