[QUOTE="KateBC, post: 210714, member: 6274"] His school is small, but starts at 6th grade so everyone is new this year. He seems to be making friends. He talks positively about several boys and has been playing football with them during free periods. I do think some of this is adjustment to the new school. Lots of new rules for him. No, I don't think he is depressed. He loves affection and seeks it as much as he gives it. He is a twin (has twin sister) they are in school together. They laugh and joke and play together well and often. He has a very good friend who lives across the street and they seem to play well together at our house and at the friend's. I'm a consultant to early education programs and have a background in Sped. I'm positive he isn't on the autistic spectrum or bipolar. He just finished a 10 week social group session with 3 ADHD boys. doctor who ran it had loads of positive things to say about him and his choices in group. Our biggest hurdle seems to be to get him to make the right choices outside of "safe" areas like therapy and home. He can tell you exactly what he should do in situations, but in the situations he can't seem to find the right choice!! How do you teach that? Also, once angry he seems to have a very difficult time calming down. He knows to count to 10, breathe, walk away, use words to say what is bothering him, etc...but again its a 50-50 on choosing the right one. As for the outbursts, they come with the anger. He doesn't stop to think about what he is saying...he just lashes out. It isn't often enough to think its Turrets and its always accompanied by anger. He never says things when he's calm or during play. [/QUOTE]
