I have this issue a lot. One of my children has Aspeger's and the other ADHD. They want to deal with the behavior first. My general response is, "When you are bored, don't you find yourself having a hard time concentrating? Imagine if you had poor impulse control?" I usually tell them that I agree that the behaviors need to be dealt with but that having a child at a lower level academically confounds that, and makes it difficult to know where the real behavior challenges start. So, my line with the school is to give me the academics and I will give them all the support for the behavior and work with them.
