[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 511077, member: 13003"] Random thoughts... 1) Risperidone... how much? and when does he take it? If it's given in the morning, especially, it can cause drowsiness. 2) Fatigue. SOMETHING is draining his gas tank... or his battery. Emotional. Mental. Physical. Neuromotor. Whatever combination it is... you have to get to the bottom of it. My first reaction is... get school to replace ALL writing with a scribe. Remove or significantly modify PE (no standard team sports, no dodge ball, no juggling... in other words, basic skills like running, throwing, but all on an individual basis). Remove cutting, pasting. Find alternative expression forms for art (poster-paper and finger paint isn't bad... drawing with a pencil or coloring within the lines can be murder.) Etc. Start taking away activities he struggles with, until you get a change in the fatigue level. THEN you'll have some idea of what accommodations might help. Has he had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation? That would help with the motor skills accommodations stuff... [/QUOTE]
