Thank you very much. I took him out of that environment immediately.
The neuro at that point just said that he thought he was very bright. He ruled out Autism, ADHD and said he might be mild Aspergers but doubted that as well since Reid just had asynchronous development. At that point we were just trying to get someone to concur with us; but no one we have talked to has been very helpful in the school district which is weak. We are going to try a Montessori school in the fall since we recently had to take him out of a purely social fulfilling environment in one pre-school. His teacher was very kind; but 3 unruly boys entered the class and my DS started coming home extremely anxious and having up to 10 nightmares per night. Now he is at home, but and is very defensive around new adults for some reason. Someone started coming in to try helping him with sitting at circle time, but he was so frustrated and anxious in the environment, he would act out. He also started regressing in his communicating, and his writing started coming home very shaky as well. Actually everyone in his classroom started regressing. We couldn't see keeping our 3-yr old in that environment. He used to run into school, but at that point had started crying saying that he was scared to go. We realize that he does have some OT issues in the sensitivity area. But outside OT help seems to be fruitless outside the stressful environment. Thank you for the book referral. All help is welcome. I hope that no one was offended with the "label" statement. I wish they could assign something (so then we would know exactly how to help him); but nothing seems to fit. So please forgive me if I came off that way. It's one of my shortcomings/aforementioned idiosyncracies.
