[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 18187, member: 2322"] I don't have an answer, but my son had similar, though not as intense, issues. Finally now in 6th grade he is attending school part of the day. I wish I had done it earlier instead of stuck to the full time schedule. You might want to think about a part-time compromise--perhaps he attends school for only an hour a day? or even less to start out with. And then you can work up slowly to more and more if that is tolerated. If you think that the school is being appropriate with him then at least this might be worth a trial to see if he can tolerate that much. I had thought about homeschooling altogether, but I am glad now with the part-time arrangement. He has more energy for the work he does there The school probably won't like this idea since they won't get their full money for him, but tough. Do you see anything changing for him in the future? medication changes, etc that might decrease his anxiety? Other things that were suggested to us were pictures of us. Can he tell time enough to understand by looking at a clock when you will be there to pick him up? its tough. [/QUOTE]
