| Yu-gi-oh! He has the cards and every spare chance he gets will go to 4kids.tv and watch episodes of Yugioh and YugiohGX. Just about anything that is green or pink, and he has a "lovely" collection of boogers on a wall over his bed (I made him limit it to one section of wall) that he will happily sho... |

| Jumping might be a calming thing. I'd find something else for him to jump on and when he starts on the bed shoo him to the other location until he is done jumping. (Yes, and my mom gets on me for "shooing" my children, but whatever, haha.) Mostly I do an "Excuse me? Are you jumping on MY bed?" I wai... |

I think the term is "burn out"  Its a normal thing. Set it down for a little and come back to it, most likely the interest will be back and after you take a little time from it you'll most likely see ways to improve it. |

Maybe see if he could invite someone to go with him, or just have a quiet room that has books and board games that he could invite someone else along. Without being in the library, but having access to books, would let them talk some, as wel... |

| Just about everything I want in the IEP is on there, one of the things is sensory and they have an OT? who is going to evaluate him to see what she recommends. Apparently they already have a sensory room in the building. Wordage on their copy of the IEP states things like "fixates" "moves pencil qui... |

She called me last week and is apparently on Jury duty this week and is hoping to make it but might not be able to. I haven't heard back from her sin... |

| The thing is, he pretty much just doesn't care. He wants everyone to do everything for him. He has no goal because, as he said the other day, "I don't have any goals because I always fail at them." I'm trying to figure out if it is difficult for him to write, or he just doesn't like it and sees no p... |

| Write something short and sweet on a little piece of paper. "Would you like to go out for coffee this Friday?" Just say "oh here," and hand it to her as you are leaving and just keep walking. Let her make the next step. It saves face on the bumbling conversation and she'd probably think it is cute. |
