I would LOVE to have DS7 move up to the next class, however, the upper class teacher is the also his music teacher whom he has many many issues with. His teacher says it's because my son expects the same respect he is expected to give, however, his music teacher is an elderly teacher who has been there since....over 30 years? My son is very very stubborn so to add him in a situation with whom he's already having problems with would most likely end up in a worse situation. His teacher however, has said she will get materials from the class to give him for now. With our move, I can accomodate his needs at a new school and hopefully a more understanding teacher. So far, his classroom teacher seems to have it together, though it took almost the whole year to figure him out LOL. I have been using some breathing techniques to calm his nerves with his ticks and OE's, thank you for the web link

I don't know if it's just me guessing or noticing this, but whenever his tourrettes acts up a little more than normal, he has a major leap in learning. Is that weird or normal? I'm making an appointment with a neurologist to see if he's okay.
Oh about the documentation, I have asked his teacher to write a formal letter stating all he has accomplished before our move and a little about his personality for his next teachers sake. That way we aren't waisting half the year for his next school to figure him and his personality out. His teacher now LOVES him and his quirks as well. She says's he's so interesting, bright, and has the most compassionate personality she's ever met in a little child.
Lately I have noticed he's been a litle down on himself for little mistakes he makes on any school work. I've tried to tell him it's not perfection he needs to make, just trying his hardest. He's very hard on himself. Is there anyway or anything I can say to help him understand it's okay to makes mistakes?
Your son seems very intersting and I'm sure I will come to you for more questions concerning my DS7
You've been much help to me during this difficult and confusing time. Thank You~hugs~
