My son turned 8 in March. His problems at school are mostly social. He disturbs his classmates with singing and tapping and interrupting. He sometimes refuses to do work if he thinks it is not interesting to him. There are a few teachers who he seems not to respect that much and he gives them a hard time as well although his regular classroom teacher did not have this problem with him. He has always been an intense kid around other children, not ever hostile but overly physical and missing social cues like especially ones that mean "Stop, this is not fun for me." I mainly had him tested because as he progresses in grades his social behavior becomes more and more of an issue. He was grade skipped in first grade so he is already a year younger than his classmates but is still at the top of the class academically. Trying to figure out where the maladaptive behavior is coming from and how best to help him navigate. Evaluation shows no definite pattern such as ADHD, Asperberger's, BiPolar, Depression etc. Only thing obvious was his intelligence level so still have no clear idea on how to help him.
