[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 44313, member: 3211"] Tanya, First of all, I am sending many gentle hugs out to you immediately. I'm so glad you found this site and at the same time sorry that you had to go looking for it due to your present circustances. Second, your little guy sounds very much like our difficult child, who is now 11. We started out at 4 with an asperger's diagnosis and have come full circle back around to it most recently - after a long road. I'm sorry this is happening to you right now, but you are stronger than you even know you are. And, it's obvious that you love your son and will do whatever you need to do to make him the most successful. Our difficult child has always, and continues, to have problems in the school setting. He has made threats when angry and as he has gotten older and bigger (5' 2" and 125 lbs) we have had to take things more seriously. I cannot tell you that it is an easy road. My original post from 7 or so years ago must be almost identical to yours here. The psychiatric evaluation sounds like a good next step. At least you may be given some ideas regarding a diagnosis and some suggestions on where to go from here. It sounds like your difficult child has a good relationship with the psychologist, which hopefully will continue. Do as much research and reading as you can on whatever diagnosis the docs bring up so that you will have as much knowledge as possible. I want you to know that even after all of these years, I still get overwhelmed by difficult child's actions and some of the situations we find ourselves in. You will find the inner strength to handle whatever comes your way. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
