Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi all, I just thought I'd post a problem here to see what you think about it... My 8 yr old - w/CFS - has been suspended for licking the back of a kid's neck in line (he was trying to get his attention and he had not responded to him tapping on his shoulder). Recently he had also called a kid a b*tt-hair (which I can accept as 'harassment " ), and I don't remember the one before - maybe hit a kid for cutting in line in front of him. He is suspended for 'harassment' - for licking a kid on the back of his neck - granted - a very inappropriate behavior... but there was not an ill intention here. Standing in line is clearly where all of his worst actions occur. He doesn't think before he acts, obviously. He has an IEP for specific learning disorder. He has trouble w/listening and expressive language - the common stuff w/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome of course. I'm going to talk to them in the morning. I want to know how they would have handled that behavior if he had an autism, PDD, or Asperger diagnosis. I feel pretty sure that if he had testing on Asperger, he would likely qualify right now, but I also think it would likely be wrong and I'd rather not go there, not when he has a formal CFIDS diagnosis w/documented language disorders, etc, plus the memory deficits (he said he forgot he wasn't supposed to lick until too late and he had already done it). Principal said it took him 10 minutes for him to tell the asst principal why he did it (trying to get the kid's attn), and the tone was kind of condescending. Anyway, I'm upset, and they have not done well putting any kind of behavioral plan in place. Just wanted your thoughts or any suggestions. Thanks!
