[QUOTE="STRESSEDTOMAX, post: 574709, member: 3512"] Thanks for all the responses. Buddy...taking everything away from him would be disastrous and would likely end with meltdown and aggression and police. For some odd reason, from the age of about 2 he has gone nuts when he's bored or has nothing to do. He cannot tolerate that feeling. He OBSESSIVELY calls friends and wants to go somewhere. But I agree that your way would be what SHOULD happen. SM - He would RAGE. We have had this school situation in varying degrees since kindergarden. He has actually spent very little time in a classroom. Many, many times we have had extreme arrangements made for certain people to meet him and bring him in. But the problem never ends when he gets into the building. HZ - I was not aware that the police could transport him to school. Here is my problem with all of this - and I say it over and over and over again - and probably will until I can understand it - IF these kids cannot control their behavior WHY would we be punishing them with the police? My son is in mainstream now - but I'm not at all sure he belongs there - and I think it may all be overwhelming for him. However, today he was up very early, in the shower - which led to a big meltdown yesterday - and went to school with NO problems. WHY? Because he was looking forward to handing out VALENTINES Day cards. We tried to tell him that he should wait to hand them out and that he might be teased but he refused to listen. I don't know what to say. I am SO confused. [/QUOTE]
