[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is 5, almost 6. He’s been kicked out of everything I’ve ever enrolled him in. Including programs advertised as inclusive/adaptive. Camps, adaptive theater, parkour, martial arts, soccer, speech therapy camp, Montessori preschool, SN playgroup, etc.

He is not violent, but his hyperactivity is extreme. He doesn’t really sit or stop moving. His attention span is extremely short. Every program just says he’s not that engaged anyway and that they don’t have the resourcing to keep him.

The rejection is really wearing on me psychologically. At what point do you just decide that your kid won’t be in anything and stop trying? I don’t mean forever, but until he’s older.

I keep thinking that if he could be in something that it might help him learn some skills for socializing and to prepare him for kindergarten (the most recent rejection was getting kicked out of the kindergarten prep program at our public school).

Every time he’s kicked out, I start searching for another program for him. But I am at the point of just letting him spend the summer with his respite worker, therapists, myself, and nanny.

Has anyone else just given up? I don’t know why this hurts so much.[/quote]

I’ve been reading all the comments and I only have one thing to say.  It’s time to just take a break from Everything and step back.  It’s obvious your DS is not in a place to handle group activities (and that is ok).  No need to feel bad.  Hire a nanny and give DS and your family some less stressful time.  [/quote]
