You guys were so helpful/caring that I wanted to give you a (good) update.
Yesterday DS had a meltdown right when school started (during announcements) but the principal was able to calm him down. He went back to class and stayed there all day.
Today he's not had any issues so far! He's been calm and quiet. HORAAY.
He did tell his teacher he didn't want to do his work because it was boring. I was able to talk to the principal about that yesterday. She asked if he was in the g/t program and when I said no she immediately was "because of his behavior, right?" She said she was going to speak to the g/t teacher about getting him some different work. I am hopeful that helps some. I don't have any expectation that he'll get truly challenging work in that program, but something not quite so tedious/boring would help, I think.
He's also been eating a lot more this past week, which is great. He's super skinny and actually managed to not gain but like 2lbs over the last year, despite growing 3" taller.
Thanks so much for everyone's good thoughts/vibes/prayers and help. I'll keep y'all updated - next week he should be taking the WJ-III.
