Thanks so much for the solidarity and replies!! Diamondblue--hearing about your son's experiences was very helpful. I agree with you on the smiling principal!
And the need for a flexible school for K. I'm glad that your son's current school has been flexible so far. It's hard to tell in advance how flexible a school is going to be, unfortunately. My DD will need differentiation anyway, so yikes. Fingers crossed! Bina--my DD actually has had the tics for well over a year (more like 2, with some other stuff before)-- since we crossed the 1 year mark for the tics, I got more concerned that she might eventually wind up with a diagnosis. Apm221--glad to know that the psychologist is helping your DD. I'm definitely going to monitor for anxiety as well-- I've heard that getting good and prompt psychological help for a child's anxiety makes a huge difference, so I'll see if that comes up for my DD. Thanks, all!
