[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 294250, member: 1550"] To be honest, to me it sounds like he is more of an Aspie than just ADHD. Is he able to get services from the school district? He sounds like he desperately needs to take social skills classes. There is really no way to learn how to play with other kids--kids just know--unless they have serious social skills deficits--and then often they have to be text book taught. I give your son kudos for knowing he gets out of control and why. He's smart! My son was very much like this and he can still be, but he got a lot of help so he's much better than he would have been if he hadn't had interventions. I know that in Wisconsin if you homeschool you are denied any school interventions, but each state is different. I would look into it. My son needed help for his sensory issues, attentional issues, and looking at "the big picture." He was also very concrete and couldn't think in abstracts and he got a lot of help in that too. He still thinks in the concrete...lol....but now he can do his school work better when he has to think in abstracts. He's still a very black-and-white kid. Was something unacceptable to you about school? I homeschooled a year, and for me I thought it made my difficult child start to regress. I put him in a parochial school after that, but they didn't have the services he needed. Some kids in my opinion really do better going to school because of the services offered. I have nothing against homeschooling (obviously). There are some good reasons kids are pulled out of school! You may want to have him evaluated by a neuropsychologist. I would think more than ADHD and anxiety is going on--although the combo is very much like Aspergers. You can get more help with the label though. Of course, I could be wrong, but I'd want to have the evaluation to make sure. I wish you good luck with your son, whatever you decide to do. These are just a few suggestions...my .02 [/QUOTE]
