[quote=Anonymous]OP, your son sounds a lot like my own at that age. We got the school system to place him in a non-public. From there, we pushed (in some cases fought) for him to receive advanced academics. As his behavior improved, we switched to less restrictive (or more academically focused) non-publics. For high school, he is in a non-public located in a high school and is taking mostly mainstream classes. We have our fingers crossed. What the public schools can do depends so much on your child's behavior. They won't focus on advanced academics if he is not socially and emotionally behaving in a manner that the school believes is appropriate. Been there, done that and then some. My son was first diagnosed with ADHD, then PDD-NOS was added later. I didn't read the other post, but Strattera and Bupropion have worked the best. Actually, maturity has made the biggest difference. Good luck.[/quote]
