[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth, your son sounds just like mine in how he reacts. Mine would feel as though the had been accused of something he didn't think he had done, wouldn't want to accept the consequence, would run away and/or become aggressive (fight or flight mentality). Luckily he is in a good program, where the emphasis is on supporting him rather than punishing him (so suspensions have not been as long). He has ADHD and anxiety, and it is the anxiety that caused him to act out so much when his impulsive behavior gets him in trouble. Once we started to treat him for anxiety, things started to get better. [/quote]

OP here:  Thank you so much for this. I'm hopeful that once the exact issues are determined we will see improvement. [b]This has all come on so quickly[/b].[/quote]

Question - you mentioned there were no issues in K or 1st for behavior.  Would ADHD present at this age without hints earlier?  Asking out of ignorance, but this part struck me.

I'm wondering what the sensory issues he's been treated for have been?

Sensory issues that need treatment don't happen in a vacuum. There is another diagnosis lurking around, and someone didn't serve you well by not suggesting an evaluation for ASD or ADHD or anxiety long before now.[/quote]
