[QUOTE="gabe walker, post: 608806, member: 17014"] if he doesn't have an IEP by all means get one in place even if you think he may "manipulate/take advantage" some how he needs one if he is to be successful in school. If done properly they are dynamic, and multidimensional not just his punctuality. With proper accommodation he can be successful. Most of his grades are not that bad with support they can definitely be improved on, giving him more time to complete assignments, quiet place during testing, tutoring, decreased work load, etc. He wants to go to school and likes it, he recognizes that he has difficulties focusing, and following what is going on, I'd give him all the help he needs before he gets frustrated doesn't want to go anymore. As for medications don't disregard what may possibly bring calm, and focus to him and piece to the both of you. I made that mistake myself. Resisted starting low dose risperdal for my son because it was an "antipsychotic" an I wanted to avoid those at all costs, well with everything he has been through, the torture and pain he had to endure for so long, the mental anguish of not being able to regulate his emotions, not being able to quiet the thought in his head compelling him to open and slam doors, pick up objects and throw them, slam chairs into tables, run out of classrooms, pick up and set down objects until he was sweating, not being able to walk a straight line, growing angrier by the day. "I'm tired of this", "I just want it to stop." I did him a disservice by not starting it earlier and I'm a health care provider myself who knows better... [/QUOTE]
