[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I think the op is facing an uphill battle with the school to go from a 504 to an iep and not get an autism designation.

This kid has behavioral issues the school is following their usual playbook.

It just doesn't make any sense. I know plenty of kids who have IEPs because of ADHD.  Typically, though, if the school is pushing ASD, they have an ulterior motive. It's not some sort of great holistic journey where they are trying to get the optimal setting for your child. Instead, checking that autism box does something for THEM. Maybe they have an opening in an autism classroom (that's what our story was). [/quote]

You guys don't get it.  It doesn't matter what the diagnosis actually is to the SCHOOL.  They're not diagnosing they're designating.

You can get an iep for ADHD as OHI, but it will be a had sell to get one for a 7 year old with behavioral issues.  That's just the way it is.[/quote]

it's not the way it is.  Plenty of students have IEPs for ADHD.  OP, you can get an educational advocate if you are uncomfortable navigating this on your own.[/quote]
