| I apologize I must've misread the age/grade. However the issue remains that his anger problem needs to be resolved before anything else can and all the talk/counseling/etc wont change that. Have you considered maybe having the teachers tape record him and then show him what it looks like to be some... |

| regardless of his issues you have to admit the kid reacts rather violently. That needs to be addressed before any progress can be made. Its not him that needs to be accommodated, he needs to learn some self control. I see you used a lot of words like 'counseling' 'reminded him', 'we say to him' ...... |

The coming of puberty age is usually when kids will behave at their worst.

| Middle school sucks whether you're an Aspie or an NT. I feel like I learned some things, but outside of academics I didn't gain anything positive from attending middle school. If I'd had the option, I would have happily been chosen homeschooling over regular school. Very true!! my son is going thro... |

| Yay! It's a really good sign that your school is thinking ahead, and "outside the box" (much as I'm starting to hate that term, sometimes it does fit!) We haven't had much problems with the school so far , they've been very accomodating with ds, and we always communicate with them right-away. I'm v... |
