[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493515, member: 12886"] I am pretty much dreading Tuesday too. I just really hate the worry of what is going to happen. Sounds like you are still sorting things out. Many kids who do not get social skills well act out, blurt out and turn into the funny man to get their attention needs met. If they dont have skills to do better in that area, well then kids laughing (they think with them) is pretty good. My girlfriends son who is very autistic, no question about it...does that. My son who is brain injured and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has times when he does that... He says but mom they are laughing so it is ok, they like it. No matter the diagnosis, kids with social issues do things like that a lot. My cousin had a son who had bm problems and just so you know there is hope...he is in highschool now and amazing...but really until a couple of years ago he still had issues! NO other developmental problems either, it was very strange. One thing that made me crazy was when my son would do that (have a bm in the wrong place) and sometimes he did it on the floor or outside! It was not often but clearly a choice, not an accident. He was imitating our dog when he did it outside (also went in the crate, wanted to eat from a bowl on the ground and to wear a collar, sigh ) I feel for you. Are you in a public school? Does he have an IEP? Sounds like if not, it is time for that. Problem is that these kids get reputations and mislabeled if they do not get the appropriate ed. label and support. Let us know if you are interested, you will find many of us here are pretty passionate about the subject. If they tell you he is not far enough behind academically, just let us know...we can help with that too. I can imagine it is a scary time for you and a sad time too. You will find that here, many of us do not think the ODD label is very helpful and if you can, dont mention it at school ever. (they may then assume he has full control over behaviors and use punishment such as suspensions etc. only to help him... it also can become a self-fulfilling prophecy for some kids). Only after a complete evaluation such as a neuropsychologist evaluation, plus Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation--which I would for sure do because this kind of bm issue can be sensory--and communication evaluation (for the social skill issues) will you start to get some idea of the bottom line issues and then you can really get some interventions going.
