[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At some point he has to learn to control his mouth. What happens when he’s outside of school and says something? No resource officers there either. He can’t rely on someone else being willing to defend him when he is verbally instigating matters. It’s not fair to either law enforcement or the other kids. I bet he doesn’t even face consequences from you or the school for the horrible things he said. [/quote]
LOL.  If only parenting a special needs child were so simple.  [/quote]

The kid is not special needs.  My son has ADHD.  Diagonosed at age 5 and lacks impulse control.  He is under doctor care, takes medication and can be a complete jerk with his words before his medication kicks in.  I have never once considered him special needs.  [/quote]
Your child a single special need that can be mostly met by medication.  I have found that for kids with two or more overlapping issues (like OP's son), medication/behavior interventions/therapies have to be more multi-layered, and can take more years to pay off.

Just curious but how does your son handle the pre- and post-medication times of his day?  How old was he when he became self-aware and also able to manage himself in those times?  [/quote]
