[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 30886, member: 1169"] Tigger had been acting up last month (5 restraints in a two week period) after having been pretty good all year (just 5 restraints in the 3 months before that). He was calming down quite nicely after we took him off the Strattera. Course today was hellacious. He was restrained on and off for 3 hours. We have cuddle time every night where we try and work through whatever is bothering him or talk about fun stuff if nothing is bothering him. He tells me that he doesn't like sitting in the dark at school, that it scares him. I ask, "who is making you sit in the dark?" He tells me "we have to be ready for when the bad man comes to school. I have to sit quiet in the dark so he doesn't get me." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! Why would you put a child that has HUGE school anxiety through a lockdown drill? The kid has a 1:1 aide, it's not like he won't have 1:1 help in the incredibly rare event that a bad man does come to their school (has there ever been a shooting at an elementary building???). I'm sure they just didn't think!!! So I get to go to school tomorrow and explain that they have triggered the latest round of rages. And put it in my notes for his next IEP that Tigger is to be taken somewhere else (counselor's office?) when the school does its lock down drills. Wish me luck getting him to school tomorrow...
