[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493928, member: 12886"] Yes! I totally get that. It really does sound like he has such a mixed bag and that is why I think looking at the skills he is missing (when it comes to school and the things you are asking for) will be very important to check out. Because he does have some issues that cross with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and those shared things are the social misunderstandings and not taking other's perspectives the ones who deal with that (and the meltdowns that result) are the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) staff. But he really sounds like he would be set off by kids with Autism or even kids in any Special Education class except maybe an Learning Disability (LD) resource room (some schools have a general Special Education resource room). Ask for what HE needs, not what programs they have. I have a friend with a child like yours who has no diagnosis but people say has some autism traits, he does have a genetic thing but not a sp ed category for it... he can be very aggressive and loud and destructive. She finally had to do the home school thing and her lawyer got the district to PAY her for teaching because they could not come up with a program to meet his needs. They did finally contract with an independent district on the other side of the cities just for kids who have meltdowns for a variety of issues.... and they use EBD adn Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) techniques, varies depending on the needs of the kids... Not many programs like that. I remember her saying in his first week he nearly destroyed their smart board, but there was never a thought he would be kicked out. Just worked on it with him... There are a few out there, but sadly not enough. [/QUOTE]
