[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specialized school. There are schools that are not “special needs” but are filled with kids like this. The McClean school, the Field School, Green Acres. [/quote]

op - i'm not in dc[/quote]

Where are you? The issue may be that you don’t have these special needs light schools. This behavior would definitely be more than enough for any one of these schools here, and wouldn’t work at any mainstream public or private sans a really robust IEP. [/quote]

np - i'm confused what part of op's child's behavior would not work at a mainstream public. Op mentions a few instances of kid saying unkind things - this happens constantly (weekly if not daily) at my nt dd's public school at this age. [/quote]

Mainstream public is probably the worst placement for the child. His outward manifestations will become worse as he finds himself with a cohort of peers who also have impulsive adhd. He has a much higher likelihood of getting in with a crows that self medicates  he has much less of a chance getting any help for academic needs which adhd kiddos have a difficult time managing as they get older and deadlines and workloads multiply[/quote]

aren't mainstream publics full of kids saying sub optimal things? Isn't that just.. school? I dont mean like violence or abuse but I'm confused why this would be such a bad environment for op's dc[/quote]

Because NT kids say those things in school only and grow out of them at an appropriate age. ND kids don't have the same situational awareness. 
But it is beyond saying off key things.  AuADHD kids get in with bad crowds in public school. Always? No. Often? Yes.[/quote]
