DeeDee, you are absolutely right. I am only now acknowledging that something is really really wrong, getting worse, and needs to be addressed.
I have requested an evaluations from the DOE and am waiting to hear back from them-- I believe they legally have 30 days after the request to see him and then I am hoping they will at least be forced to send me a tutor or somebody to work with him. I have also gotten him a psychologist and he just started seeing her last week. In the past he has been evaluated and seen therapists, but it was like he was smart enough to hide what was really going now, now he is not maturing like he should, and he is definitely more obsessive, so I think it's becoming more obvious and I will get an answer.
And yes he is defiant in almost every way. He's not violent or anything. Just ignores us.
And we go to the library almost every day. Libraries are great.
I guess this is a lesson that kids who are obsessive, defiant, and unable to focus like this might be bad candidates for homeschooling.
