[QUOTE="aeditha17, post: 115294, member: 4486"] My problem is that my parents (who are very supportive) live 5 blocks away and have daily interaction in our lives. My mom can flash back to her rural south texas upbringing and get brass tacks on you, but she is also a former pedi ICU nurse who's father was a depressed, suicidal alcoholic so she does have some personal understanding. The eye rolls for me come from the school and from my kids teachers. I got a phone call yesterday from my 5th grade son. He and his science teacher were calling me together because my son had "made a loud noise" that was disruptive to the class.The teacher siad he ahd alreaddy asked him not to do that, but he did it again even louder. The teacher tried to describe the noise but couldn't. I finally asked him "does it sound kind of like a hawk screeching?" and he said "Yes!". I told him that it is a noise Aedan likes to make. I said I would discuss with him the appropriate times to make those kinds of noises but that i wanted to touch base with him and see if we had another tic developing (because Tourette's tics wax and wane and come and go). As soon as I said this, he chuckled to himself with a "whatever" kind of tone. Like "here we go with the Tourette's thing again". GGGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!! I could have screamed! Now, my daughter's kinder teacher, who has been a saint, is hesitant to fill out the paperwork for the ARD I requested. She said that she wasn't really making any accomodations for her right now that she wouldn't normally make for other children and that she didn't want to put unnecessary accomodations in place. I told her that I knew she was doing well right now but that she had the potential to really have problems and i didn't want us to be pulling our hair out halfway through 1st grade trying to initiate this process. Better to get this ball rolling now before the crisis than after. I have the formal diagnosis. She herself has a 3 y/o with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - I can't understand where this is coming from. 5 months ago she was ready to do whatever we needed. The therapist thinks that she has become accustomed to Tab's behavior and is very tolerant of it because of her own experience so to her it doesn't seem to be a problem - I think I agree. I tried to catch the school counselor as she and the VP were on the way out the door but she seemed to dodge me. I was able to rattle off that her teacher was hesitant and she said "Iknow, I'll call you later about it and I am going to talk to the VP on our way to our meeting" and with that she was out the door and gone. <sigh> Calgon - take me away!
