[quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Thanks for all the links.  I have been doing a ton of reading about this.  Have Dev. appt on the 16th of Nov.  We have had a better few weeks.  We have worked through a few thinks, and the reports have been good for the most part.

So, here is my current quandary.  I had the fall conference today.  Though we did not get the report card yet, his teacher told me ds will be getting all A's.   She said that academically, despite the fact that there are a number of behavior/impulsivity issues, he is keeping up with the work, and though in a number of instances she felt he was not "paying attention" due to distracting others, or reading at a time when he was supposed to be listening, he always had the answer when she called him on it.

The two big things she felt were concerns were 1) taking responsibility for his actions.  she said in this regard, she sees him well below his peers.  He does do this with us as well on occasion, act as if he is being wronged for being disciplined for something he absolutely did.  2) distracting/bothering others.  I asked if this was having social consequences, and she felt that it definitely did.  He is being that "annoying" kid who will do things, just to get someone going, but then cannot seem to explain why.  Interestingly enough, he does not do this at home, but gets VERY annoyed when his brother who has suspected AS does it to him.

I guess I am struggling with the fact that I am taking my child who is getting all A's in an Advanced Academics class for an eval.  It still feels like the right thing to do, I really worry if we do not figure this out soon, the behavior piece will just become more pronounced.  And there are certainly major issues with keeping track of assignments, etc.

Has anyone taken their child for an eval given the behavioral/impulsivity issues, but without academic problems?[/quote]
