[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 40128, member: 805"] JJJ, I have wrestled with this issue as well for my difficult child. He's not having rages at school anymore, but when he gets anxious he just shuts down. When this happens, his abiity to learn is decreased. He also has extremely low social skills. He does have a couple friends he gets along with and play with at recess, but he's not part of the larger group. His acedemics are totally mood-related. He is also expressing anxiety right now with the move to middle school. Many of the kids in his class are excited and talking about how they can't wait to get out of elem school. He's just anxious. I know that, since he's such a smart kid, we could have successful homeschooling. But he needs the social stuff so much that I have resisted. Additionally, like tigger, exposure to special services would be limited at home. They are tough choices. All I can say, is go with your gut. You and husband will make the right choice for your son.
