Hi MNTCmom, Have you talked to any of the other parents at those 4 schools with 2e kids? We can't go to any of them because we are 1+ hour away but I have talked to other parents there. I was also going to suggest OT (Occupational Therapy) as in Sensory Processing Disorder. My DS7 has made incredible improvement in the areas you mentioned by doing different types of games, exercises, etc here at home. The blurting out is a maturity/boredom thing I was told. You can't blurt out answers you don't know. For my son it was understanding that if he wanted people to see how "smart" he was, he needed to follow the rules, raise his hands, and act mature. Then people would sit up and listen. And the OT has helped tremendously with him controlling himself. Also look up "The Mislabeled Child" by Drs Eide. The "hitting" other kids could be a lack of awareness with ones own body in space. He actually feels threatened and lashes out to protect himself. (????)
Thanks for all your words of wisdom Grinity! It is so nice to hear from parents who have BTDT.
