[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 582759, member: 15799"] I am sooo sorry you are having to deal with this. I and my son were in a VERY (eerily so) similar situation. It was true that my son was "forced" out of our school because the principal just did not want him there anymore. We had an IEP meeting (I had a locally well-known advocate with me) pretty much every month. They did not believe the neuropsychologist's lengthy evaluation and diagnoses. They did not believe their reading specialist that found reading comprehension issues. They absolutely refused to believe that he wasn't 100% defiant and beligerent. At the beginning of the "ordeal" my son carried the ADHD and ODD diagnoses. The neuropsychologist testing revealed he was on the autism spectrum so the ODD was changed (it was dropped). The school refused to accept that. After having even more OSS's than yours and even more unexcused absences (longer story), I watched my son go into an even deeper depression, curled up in the fetal position and sleeping constantly. I gave up the fight with the school and pulled him out. I put him in a school of MY choosing and now he is thriving. I am with Buddy. You need to get a very comprehensive evaluation by a neuropsychologist as well as comprehensive Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluations, outside the school. We did that and it was amazing the things I was missing because of my interpretations, assumptions, and personal experience (and yes, some internet searches of various behaviors). The neuropsychologist and Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluations literally changed our lives. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you AND your son. [/QUOTE]
