[quote=Anonymous]OP if you pull your DS back, you will want to find a way to address his strengths. I have a son with ADHD who is very gifted in math. It's a hard subject to "sit and wait" in a classroom. My son became highly frustrated in first grade to be forced to do work he had mastered years prior. Anxiety and ODD seem more symptomatic- I don't know much about HFA but the symptoms you describe sound like ADHD and possibly a language impairment. I suggest taking your son to a speech and language pathologist for a full language screening. We had both- a language evaluation and a neuropsych. The language eval really showed the specific impairments in social language. Time in social skills group and a behavioral therapist has mitigated the defiance we see at home. I have learned how to deal better with my son's issues to prevent meltdowns and defiance. [/quote]
