Rachelle, I have to apologize a little bit - when I was replying the first time to your post I was also getting interrupted a lot, and I replied having only seen your original post and not the replies that were posted in between when I started typing and when I actually hit "submit"!

I was thinking about this a little bit more and wondering about something - is school still in session? Is there any chance you might know this spring before school is out who your ds' teachers will be next year? If you did do you think it might help at all to have a meeting either as a group this year or individually asap so that ds can talk to the teachers and the teachers might be able to help get ds excited about what he'll be learning or ease his anxiety a little bit by seeing that they care and will be looking out for him?
