[QUOTE="buddy, post: 472570, member: 12886"] Oh this makes me so ill. I am just so sorry and wish we could all just grab you both up and hold him. My son takes a Special Education bus for this very reason. It is a related service and now he even rides a bus alone. He loves the bus but the social challenges are too much. He has an aide and driver who are trained specifically to his needs. I dont like that my son was bullied off the bus (and this was another sp. ed bus and the driver who bullied him) but in the end my son is much happier and doesn't enter school and leave school with additional issues. Our busses all have video cameras. Do you know if yours do? What is your sons IEP like, are you happy with what i on there? Sounds like they need to support him so much more. He needs support in the non academic times, halls, busses, lunchroom changing for gym whatever.... that can be put in his IEP. With all the political buzz around bullying it is hard to imagine any school not taking a zero tolerance policy on bullying. Ellen DeGeneres just came to the Cities to PACER which leads a national ani-bullying campaign. You can go to their web site for more ideas...PACER.org It is a parent advocacy group for special education. my love and support to you. I have many friends and students who have been not diagnosis or misdiagnosed until a later age... and that is why I think many of us on this board push so hard for people to get appropriate diagnosis early, your son is an ambassador for why it is critical. Makes me crazy that school professionals wouldn't have suggested to you that there is something going on and just mistakenly labeled him as a behavior problem. Kids who do well at home and struggle socially at school should trigger a red flag right away for a neuro, developmental or psychiatric problem. As you found, even with diagnosis and your support it is still a struggle....he was already labeled a trouble maker. So sad. Glad he has you in his corner. Is this school and even this district worth it to you? I had to make the decision to sell my home and move for my son to be in a better district. I know there are many factors but sometimes, it is just too long of a fight even if you can win it. [/QUOTE]
