[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 168791, member: 3419"] Thank you all. Fairlyodd, I was thinking the same thing, and even asked him. The neighbors did say he'd had yogurt, so that may have been part of it. I was wondering if he would react even more strongly to gluten and milk products after he's been off of them for awhile. Sigh. I think a lot of it was lack of sleep. But we still need to go back to the child psychiatric and make sure difficult child understands that WE are the parents. He truly thinks he's in charge. Yes, Marg, LOL, I think the teacher and my daughter would rather crawl over broken glass to get away from one another! You had the teacher pegged perfectly. She gave up on the class because so many of them were seniors, and they gave up on her. It was a vicious circle. easy child realized she'd been roped into the slacker group, so she changed her seat to the front, changed the clothes she wore, and made it a point to not talk at all during class unless it was to answer a question. But the damage was already done. I can only hope that the dean of students paid attention to the sarcasm and attacks and will do something about it (like pass the word on to the dean of teachers). I think you're right about having difficult child tested for Asperger's again when he's older. He still sticks to concretes, to the point where he will halt an entire conversation and become fixated on one thing someone said, when it is only minor and has nothing much to do with-the final outcome. He still doesn't get, "For example." He thinks you're changing the subject. He's even worse on essays than easy child, so I may have to hire a tutor in the fall, because 5th gr is where they really get hit hard with-those. He thinks one sentence is a paragraph. If the teacher says he should write more, he'll ask how many, and she'll say, "Oh, maybe three sentences." So difficult child will write exactly three sentences in ea graph, no more and no less, and will explode if you try to explain to him that it's just a guideline. He just doesn't get it. Yesterday I completed an entire painting. I was so happy! But last night and today all h*ll broke loose. I just never know from one min. to the next what's going to happen, ya know? Sometimes I feel like a pack mule. [/QUOTE]
