[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 420525, member: 1991"] Thanks, guys. I think his increase in violence is directly related to his frustration, which is connected to the inability to use that brain of his. We've been putting pressure on him to get his schoolwork done and he just can't cut it. It's like a brick wall has been built around his brain and he's got some sort of intellectual 'locked-in' syndrome. Or perhaps more correctly, "locked out syndrome". Information and knowledge hasn't been getting in, and now we learn that his ability to sift relevant information from the vast scope of data in his world, is minimal. He just spent two weeks working exclusively on a one week open book assessment task on a topic he should be able to talk about non-stop underwater for two hours, and came up with - one page. It's a subject he should be totally blitzing, but he's failing it, despite trying really, really hard. And every other subject is the same. We'll organise study skills, organise speech therapy, but I am very much afraid it will do little to help. The only other thing I can think of is to cut his workload back even further. But there is a limit to how far back to cut it - he has five years max to pass his final school exams and the clock starts when he sits the first exam. If he can only do one subject a year, he won't be able to do it because there are six subjects. Mind you, most students do it all in one year. I can't wait for school to go back so I can have a really heavy talk to the SpEd. Marg [/QUOTE]
