[QUOTE="keista, post: 428579, member: 11965"] I wish I did. My son started to "check out" at the very beginning of middle school. they all just assumed it was his normal AS state. In reality he was going deep into depression which ultimately resulted in him getting commited for 48 hours by the SCHOOL resource officer. When I got with them to try and explain the fine line between his usual AS "shutdowns" and depression, they looked at me like I was from another planet - imagine, teachers and administrators of a middle schol having no concept or clue of depression or what signs to look for. Anyway, teachers and administrators do not care about the why - only the what - he's not trying any more. You need to show that the Why is causing the What and if the Why is addressed, the What will get better. In your signature you state that he always needs to be in charge. Hmmm that sounds like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) to me which will manifest itself through feelings of getting overwhelmed because if he can't get it done in X amount of time to a Y degree of perfection, he'll shut down and just not do it. Get creative and be a PITA. It boggles my mind that educators are willing to allow bright students just to coast by and not reach their full potential. You see, 70's are passing grades. Why should they put any effort into a kids who is getting passing grades? UHG. I have a 504 meeting for my gifted child who's been bringing home Bs and Cs is this Friday. Hi, yes, I'm new here and will post an introduction ASAP between everything else going on this week. Have to say this is a beautiful community of very supportive ppl living in most nightmarish circumstances. I've read several threads, and have cried with your stories, and felt elation at your victories. [/QUOTE]
