[QUOTE="Sickntired, post: 79029, member: 3848"] Thank all of you for your input and ideas. He has let a couple of things slip. He doesn't like "they way they treat him". You are right, his IEP does not work. At the present time, he is off his mood stabilizer. He had a bad reaction to it. We go to the doctor in the morning and I am saying my night time prayers he will put him on something else. But he has been on so many, and Invega was the ONE that worked and worked well. Even with the Invega, he still hates school, but he is much, much easier to deal with. Right now, everything is a battle. Funny, I used to think the medicine didn't work, but seeing him off of it, wow, he simply cannot function without it. He so wants to be "normal". I think that is a lot of it. He hates taking medicines, he hates having the extra help, and so on and so on. He has absolutely no plans for a future, except this grandiose thinking that he is going to be a dirt bike professional. Reasoning does not work at all. Scare doesn't work at all. He simply does not care. I know for a fact that I could not home school him. Believe me, I have pondered it over and over, trying to figure out what would be in his best interest. He has been "labeled" with this since grade school, and it just follows him year to year. I used to jokingly think they had secret meetings after each school year to warn his upcoming teachers about him. [img]:rofl:[/img]But seriously, I am really worried about him. I just can't get the "want to" to take over in him. I have told him, the bottom line is, it is a law. You HAVE to go to school. You can either go to this one, where you do have some freedom and there are tons of people trying to help you, OR you will be put in one where you have no choices. The outcome is the same, you will go to school. Wouldn't it be easier to do it the easy way? You can imagine what the reply was.
