[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody has said to medicate, PP. [/quote]

Oh please.  OP said that her DS was evaluated and is not ADHD.  Many posters have diagnosed him as having ADHD, called him a menace, and clearly expect OP to medicate him so that he will no longer touch his classmates.

Yes, tickling classmates is inappropriate, he should know better, and he shouldn't do it.  That's why OP is posting.  So far, the responses have mostly been that he must be ADHD.  [/quote]

This is an 8 or 9 year old boy doing this, not a preschooler.  This has been a repeat problem, despite the teachers and parents doing what they think they can to stop it.  To think there is something wrong is completely appropriate in this situation.  This is not typical boy behavior.  This is not related to getting insufficient recess time.  This is not something to be glossed over yet another school year, as obviously what has been done past is not working.  You're first sentence belittles the seriousness of this. For an 8 or 9 year old to not pick up his classmates social cues, to be shouting out answers and touching others after years of being told not to do so, and after the consequences set by mom have all failed, how can the answer be anything but something is wrong?[/quote]
