[quote=Anonymous][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]

You’re right. It arise here however because he agreement is that these behaviors are definitely disruptive, requiring even a one on one in mainstream, but they are acceptably disruptive in that they are internalizing and the child is female so she is likely to get in to many of the sn schools.
