[quote=Anonymous]OP- I could have written your post (and the other PPs). There is no "control" only management, goal setting and working through things day by day. I'm lucky to have met people along the way that give me the perspective to see the forest and the trees. They also help me realize that he won't be like this forever and he will grow up to be ok.

It has taken a monumental effort to get my DS's school to understand the right way to work with him. Between his avoidance and his very strong manipulation skills he needs a consistent, firm behavior program.

You said you are in private, but are you in one that allows you to have an IEP? Are you in one with any specialists who deal with behavioral and impulsivity issues? It makes all the difference in the world for impulsive kids to have clear expectations set for them that work in every single setting during every minute of the day.

Also- we are completely out of whack with allergy season here. Shorter fuse, shorter attention span and sleepier all around. It has slowed my son down, but not in any of the ways that need to be slowed down. And the allergy meds do nothing unless I give him benedryl at night.[/quote]
