[QUOTE="llamafarm, post: 517495, member: 14085"] Thanks for the quick responses. I am thinking this all through and trying to make a plan while he is in school. He is very small and will not catch on to social cues sent to him while is detained. This will only cause trouble for him. He is small enough that I can still restrain him. It is exhausting though. I have been trained in restraining and been shown some defensive moves from the school principal. Unfortunately I cannot lay a hand on him except to hold him or he thinks I have hit or kicked him. Defending myself from a kick with my leg and foot he announces that I am kicking him. When I try to get past him to my safe spot he announces I pushed him or hit him. He has told his view of physical conflicts twice now to his counselor. They reported me to the county once. Nothing came of it. I have been involved in both discussions with the counselors when difficult child discussed the situation. it is so hard because he just does not see the world or situations as the rest of the world sees them. The counselors are required to report so they do. I now narrate things when I need to defend myself. I say things like, "Now I have to hold your arms. I am not hitting you. It hurts because you are out of control." Or, "I have to put my leg up to stop you from kicking me" Of course that is during ideal conflicts. I don't narrate when I am avoiding painful punches and don't see any advantage to it... Anyway. I felt liberated after the first police call. Now I am feeling a bit more of reality and how things will really go. [/QUOTE]
