[QUOTE="artana, post: 209432, member: 6186"] Jennifer, I actually just talked to his teacher and discussed calling kids that he is friends with. The person he wants a playdate with seems to be the person that the teacher concurs is friends with him. So, I will be calling up. I know that my difficult child has sensory overload issues. I know he is stressed with a new school and schedule, but his issues adapting have been pretty continuous and at this point I'm worried about him putting himself in a frustration cycle, where he doesn't feel like he's a good boy anymore. That would be very hard, because he is a sweet caring child. So, the assessment will tell me a lot. I have also realized that my dad, my brother, and I (though to a lesser extent) are probably in the same category. We all are very good at work, very intelligent, but cannot deal with emotional conflict. My dad and brother respond by avoiding it in every way possible (structuring their lives so they control everything around them as best they can). I respond to it by trying to do it, but every once in a while shutting down. I think this is why the advocacy is so hard for me. The difference between them and I is that I don't have their explosive temper. I prefer to sit in a corner and read or take a bath and ignore the world for a 1/2 hour while I try to destress. So this should be an interesting session, if nothing else. [/QUOTE]
