[QUOTE="Karen & Crew, post: 27225, member: 3504"] I had a big meeting with this teacher and the principal last Thursday morning over the lack of communication I seem to be having. We visited difficult child's p-doctor last Thursday (8th) evening and she thinks that the diagnosis of ADHD may not be the real problem. She suspects the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) & Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are the bigger problems and the morning Ritalin is further agitating him rather than calming him down. She took him off the am Ritalin and is in the process of writing the referral to send him to a psychologist who specializes in pediatric anxiety disorders. The referral hasn't come through yet, though so... Teacher called this morning. He's been out of control all week. He's finished none of his assignments. He's lashing out at other students/teachers for no reason. She said y'day another teacher reported that instead of doing classwork he poured a full bottle of glue over his desk. He's leaving class without permission and disappearing for 10-15 minutes at a time. He's also refusing to eat lunch at school. Wouldn't be a big deal but he's barely eating at home. Wednesday was a particularly bad day at home. I drove him to school and he was just awful. He started throwing things at me while I was driving, refused to stay buckled... P-doctor won't be back in until Monday and in the interim I have the weekend to get through. I'm just at my wit's end with him. The other two easy child have a birthday party to attend so my parents have offered to keep difficult child tomorrow. He generally does pretty well with them alone. I hate wishing my weekend away but I'm so anxious for Monday to get here so I can talk to his doctor again. [/QUOTE]
