[quote=Anonymous]Another vote for PP's suggestion that the effort of being so perfect at school is more for him than you think, and that by the end of the day when he gets home he is drained and frazzled. This is very common with Aspergers/ADHD kids (and certainly true of mine) but a lot of recent psychological research suggests that self-control is a limited resource (as are decisionmaking and all the other executive functions) for all of us. So you might try and figure out if he's more anxious about school than he lets on for some reason, or maybe has a touch of ADHD that could be treated. Or maybe you just need an adjustment of family routine and expectations to give him more space to decompress after school. Our son needs a ton of alone time and low stress after the effort of getting through the school day so we don't push him much on after school activities etc.[/quote]
