[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 243420, member: 23"] Could be a combination of things. Many of our kids have to be "on" each school day in order to get through without making a blunder -- social, behavior, or academically. Very stressful and creates anxiety. They know they are "different" from regular kids. That's just one self-esteem issue on it's own. Looking at your difficult child's dxs of ADHD/ODD/Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)/Tourette's Syndrome he's got his hands full. This is an Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) simulation from : [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Turn on the radio, but don't tune it. Leave it on static and fuzz. Turn it up. Ask someone to turn the lights on and off, at will. Strap yourself into a broken chair that is missing a leg and use a table that is off balance - you know the ones in restaurants that makes us all so mad. Now, put on some scratchy lace in place of a comfy T-shirt, put your pants on backwards and wear shoes one size too small. Pour a bowl of grated parmesan cheese, open a can of sardines and bring the cat box to the table. Now, snack on your least favorite food; the one you NEVER eat because it comes with a gag reflex.[/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] There's an ADHD simulation at [url]www.pediatricneurology.com[/url] . These are just the aggravations that can present with-these 2 disorders. Add in the Tourette's Syndrome. Throw in trying to fit in with-the other students, trying to please teacher, trying to learn...... And the home environment is so different..... I've said many times that my difficult child is my hero. I'm not sure I'd be able to function if I had all his problems. (I try to remember this when I'm about to ring his neck. lol) It's sad tho. School is such a nightmare for my son also, that there are times when I feel like I'm committing emotional child abuse by making him go. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
