Tigerle- thank you. It's been a rough year so far at home and school for DS.
We're getting some evaluation done for DS- but medication won't be our first "go to." I suspect anxiety, possible inattentive issues, and definitely some lagging social understanding.
No- I believe the school has intentions to help DS, and medication was not brought up. I absolutely agree with some CBT and possibly an OT if we discover sensory issues.
I'm not sure what the best school or social fit would be for DS. His anxiety, perfectionism, and social awkwardness make him a poor candidate for a highly competitive environment.
I still believe in the school- they are kind, and will try to meet DS's needs. I just want the social exclusion and mean comments by some of the other students to stop- it makes everything worse and DS is sad, irritable, and frustrated.
