[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a child who "graduated" from Maddux last year after several successful years. He is very bright, has ADHD, some social challenges, and pretty frequent meltdowns - 2-3 times a day or more. They include crying, not wanting to participate, being easily distracted, sometimes even falling into a heap but not more severe behaviors like screaming or throwing things, etc. Maddux was perfect for him and he sounds a lot like OP's child.[/quote]

My child would never scream or throw either, and he does not melt down, ever. He is hyper, distracted and too physical. He was not accepted to Maddux. But I think it’s misleading somewhat to call and identify these behaviors as “sn lite” - in all honestly these frequent melt downs etc. are probably worse for th skid than my son’s nonstop physicality BUT they are easier for teachers to dela with - not less time consuming, or staff requiring but easier. My point really is that fair? I think our whole education system is female biased and these are how sn presents often in female children. I think it’s interesting/worth debating.

For the sake of the OP, that debate should take place in a new thread.[/quote]
