For the most part no.  Right now he only has one friend who tolerates him, but he is new to the area.




BIP = Behavioral Intervention Plan




His teacher changed.  He had a highly structured, firm teacher last year.  This year he has a very unorganized teacher who has a hard time handling him.  I hear she has at least 3 like him in her class.  He was also on a ton of medication, but started terrifying night terrors at night, and we were worried he was going to have a psychotic break.  He was just as disruptive in class as he is this year.  Last year's teacher just didn't accept his behavior.




We tried soccer and cub scouts, but that didn't work out well.  He was in t-ball once, but same problems.  Tries to take over whatever position he wants and will not listen to the coach or leader.  If he doesn't get what he wants, he throws a massive tantrum.  I've thought about martial arts classes, but we don't have the money for it right now.  He is interested in everything, but we have problems with him being overbearing and bossy in every situation.




We may be doing that in the future, especially if the behavior continues.  One of the reasons I am pushing for a neuropsychologist evaluation.  BUT, I'm also hesitant because my 20 year old was in Special Education all of his life, and I believe it damaged his self-esteem.  SS10 doesn't have the learning problems J had, so part of me wants to see if we can keep him in a normal system if possible.
