[QUOTE="klmno, post: 153916, member: 3699"] Hi, JerseyGirl! Welcome! It sounds like you have quite a handful there!! many people here have gone through similar situations with their kids, so you will get support, advice, cyber-friendship, etc. It will help us all to know if anyone has evaluated your son other than the school. If not, I would recommend an evaluation by a neuropsychologist (privately) or a neurologist or actually, maybe both. Others will have more experience with this- my son isn't doesn't suffer from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), so I'm not sure the route on that one. But, provate evaluations can be more thorough and reliable and you can set them up with highly qualified people (PhD or MD). I would think that would help to find his specific trouble areas. In can also help in dealing with the school and getting other appropriate treatment in place. In the meantime, many of us here have found the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene to be extremely helpful. It isn't written for a specific diagnosis but covers concepts and strategies for helping our kids who don't respond well to the typical way. Others will come along soon with more thoughts. Again, welcome! [/QUOTE]
