| Tracker- the advice and insight you have shared is amazing! I feel more enlightened about meltdowns after reading your post and I thank you for that. I could really see my son in your descriptions. We made a cool down spot together a couple days ago. It looks like a fort made out of blankets and he ... |

| Your son is throwing tantrums because he is not getting his way, and he is winning these battles. As Tracker explained, when he acts this way, he should be put in a spot until he calms down. (There are commonly accepted rules for how long a child should be made to sit for a given age.) If he leaves... |

| It's better that he blow off that steam at home instead of at home.Maybe he is having issues at school but is witholding his anger until he gets home,where he feels more secure and is safe.In my opinion, it is better he blow off steam at home, rather than blowing it off on some kid and hurting some... |

| Well, it seems you have already read some of my standard advice. Would you mind telling me which of my posts you read? that way I don't tell you things you already know. I read and attempted to use this advice: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp2387282.html&highlight=#2387282 I appreciate everyon... |

| BTW, I'm using the term tantrum instead of meltdowns because, while my son will have the occasional full-blown meltdown due to sensory overload, his tantrums seem like they should be more in his control. At least I think so since he can get over them quicker and there have been times where he was th... |

| As I've written in another thread, we suspect our 5 year old son has AS, or at the very least has many Aspergian traits. One issue we are currently dealing with is tantrums. So far he doesn't have a problem with tantrums at school but at home they happen frequently. Sometimes our days feel like a se... |

| I think I can relate to how you feel. Once I gave a voice to my thoughts that my son might be aspie, I had to readjust my thinking, and in the process mourn the loss at least a little bit of the boy I had envisioned my son to be in my head. Then I was ready to move on. When and if my son get a dx, I... |

| While I agree with the other posters, what accommodations are you hoping to have on his IEP? Obviously therapy services will not be offered through the school without a dx but there are accommodations the teacher could make in the classroom without an IEP if you talk to him or her, such as a visual ... |

| Polgara- I appreciate your insight on getting a diagnosis. It makes me feel like I'm on the right track. I don't see weird as a bad thing and I don't think they could eradicate it from Miles anyway. But this lady said it with such a negative tone in her voice--it bothered me. I hate the idea of peop... |

| As a teacher, I would recommend having a meeting with the teacher and the child present with you. The three of you could come together and write up a behavior contract of what you are each going to do in order to help your child be successful. No one should have more than three things on their list.... |

| In January my 5yo son will be tested for Asperger's. I don't know if he will receive a dx or not, considering that he is pretty high functioning. I would love to get some feedback from others just so I can obsess about this a little less. I'm sorry this post is so long. I realized after the fact tha... |

| I've been lurking the forums for awhile but just became a member today. I am a mom of a 5 yo boy whom I am getting tested because I think he has Asperger's. My husband and I are pretty certain that my husband also has it but he's never been diagnosed. I am also a 4th grade teacher who has had a stud... |
