Thank you Grinity. The information from Dr. Rimm's book was from a gifted student book and I wasn't considering that it may have been aimed at a lower LOG or that 'sullen' wasn't acting out. DS teacher feels that 'behavioral probation' may be indicated because it's interfering with classroom atmosphere, thus I assumed it was acting out. You're right it's not. We have an evaluation to rule out any 2E issues and get an education recommendation in 10 days, but I don't know if this sweet kid is going to make it that long.
