 I am the pp who has an 8 yr old with ASD/ADHD who went through something similar last year in 2nd grade. Your child is Not being "violent" on purpose but basically freaking out and lashing out bc there is something "off" at school.

Please be careful with language. [/quote]

Stop.  While the cause of the behavior isn't willful, it results in violent behavior.  Violence is a the physical expression of aggression and it sounds like that what OP's DS is - violent.  Using euphemisms downplays the seriousness of the issue and certainly diminishes the impact on his victims.  [/quote]

If you use that logic then your 18 month old should be called "violent" for hitting a child to get access to a toy and your infant violent for biting another child because he is teething. Please. No one is saying the child doesn't have some challenges but there a huge difference between calling someone "violent" and referring to his or her actions as violence. I think that's what PPs are trying to say.
