[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 394278, member: 2322"] hi Thanks for the thoughts about homeschooling. Believe me, it is crossing my mind. But I would have to hire tutors which still might be cheaper than an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) type place. I just couldn't be the one imposing the structure day in and day out because of his tendency to argue about everything. The sad thing is that he likes school, they have him up to grade level work (he is on an IEP already, has been since 14 months old) and he loves being with the other kids all day. That's part of the problem! He thrives on structure and social interaction. about autism--definitely not his problem according to every neuropsychologist, doctor, therapist we have ever dealt with. He is on the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) spectrum with executive functioning difficulties. Long term don't know what the prognosis is--will he ever be able to live alone and manage his life, money and not make impulsive decisions? He is normal functioning in many respects so it is a very tricky and depressing issue since he doesn't perceive himself as not being normal in many ways. [/QUOTE]
