[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like autism to me.  My DC was similar and received an autism diagnosis.  Could also be anxiety.  With meds, my DC’s outbursts declined rapidly.  [/quote]

My child has high functioning autism. He has it everywhere he goes.  It doesn’t disappear at school.  He is a polite and respectful kid, but in elementary school he had a lot of difficulty making any friends and had occasional outbursts at school as well as at home.  
None of his teachers would have described him as having “no issues.”  [/quote]

NP. But many children with low support needs autism have no or few problems at school, especially girls. It’s called masking. So yes, of course they have autism wherever they are, but it might look very different in different environments.

Get the neuropsych OP. Always get the neuropsych. What you’re describing could be just anxiety. Or maybe not. Why not figure that out?

If the outbursts are frequent enough, try medication.[/quote]

What are you talking about?  
The diagnosis requires deficits in social functioning across multiple contexts AND clinically significant impairment in functioning. 
School is where kids socialize and where they get most of their important  work done.  Of course autism symptoms would show up there if you were looking for them.
