The special ed teacher has been the only one who has been able to get him to play outside with other boys his age (without complaining or tantruming).
If children spend hours on one thing, or don't ... |

Why not see how he is if he stays home all day instead?
His behavior is actually worse when he is home all day. I've seen this during the summer. He craves a level of structure that no m ... |

I was taught at home as a child. Honestly, I don't think I could do it.
It would be one thing to teach my NT child at home. My aspie son can be very oppositional. I don't think that either of ... |

You're right. He was out for over a week total. Last Friday the school had to call the EMTs because he was so out of control.

It started off as rubbing. He would spit on his finger and then rub his face by his eye over and over until it was raw.
Now he has progressed to picking at his skin in his forearm and ankle until ... |
