[QUOTE="keista, post: 533028, member: 11965"] I don't think buddy is way off base at all. My UNCESORED opinion [B]as asked[/B] is to please explore the autism spectrum. The reason he may behave so well in school is because school by nature is structured, he knows what to expect. Also having that greater intelligence, even high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids strive to conform to limits and structures they understand. However, this can come at a cost with melting down when released from the public environment. Home is his safe haven, so he feels comfortable completely letting loose. I have a feeling that you are thinking along the same lines only because I almost never hear the term "perseverates" in any other context. It also possible that he just has some serious traits that won't qualify him for the diagnostic cut off. That doesn't mean that you can't treat him as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Buddy's suggestions are all great. If he's very verbal and opinionated, I suggest allowing him to collaborate on schedules (within reason, of course) for example, if there is flexibility for dinner time in the house let him choose the time 6 or 6:30. HW done before or after dinner. Little things that he can help input will go a long way. [/QUOTE]
