Thanks for the comments, everyone. It really does sound like an IEP is the way to go, and it's reassuring to know that IEPs can change or even 'go away.' They have been doing cognitive behavior therapy with the current psychologist and are now also reading more about 'Transforming the Difficult Child' and similar things--it's just not something that's going to help immediately. I don't know if the previous evaluation included ADOS, but I will ask--it sounded like a pretty thorough going-over. I hope things improve soon, though, because it does sound like some of the other kids are intimidated by his behavior, and then he has even more trouble trying to fit in. Thanks again; I'll pass it all along and hope it helps.
