>Approach any problems you are experiencing by proactively

personnel during the year.<

At the ARD two years ago the teacher was talking about behaviors at that time

and said Tristan was picking food off the floor and eating it. The Psychologist

who monopolizes our meeting said that was because he was starved! I took

offense and the principal came to my aid by saying we send enough food for him

to feed an army. When I got the ARD minutes that comment wasn't in there so I

called the Special Ed Director and asked her why. She didn't see any reason to

put it in there, and admitted they don't have to write verbatim what was said!

It is written in the IEP and supported by doctors but that doesn't matter to

them. Am I the only one in this group whose school harrasses them about the

gfcf diet?

>What is written into the IEP regarding the diet? If you are doing the diet

under your doctor's supervision, you should have great support for including

any diet restrictions- as they relate to school- into your child's IEP.

Once it is in the IEP, then you have the leverage you need with the school

district staff. Approach any problems you are experiencing by proactively

addressing them through the IEP (during your ARD), instead of battling ISD

personnel during the year.<

Yes to all of the above. It is written into his IEP. Tristan's primary

physician, neurologist, gastroenterolgist, and now Dr. all know he is on

the diet and approve. There were two letters written to the school about the

diet. It doesn't matter to them! But this is what I did today. An email was

sent to the teacher with copies to the superintendant, principal, and Special Ed

Director. See below:

These information links will be helpful for understanding the diet Tristan is

on. It is often referred to as the Autism Diet. Please familiarize yourself

with all aspects of the diet, including utilizing the directory at the gfcf diet

site. It will answer your questions about which foods are allowed and those

that aren't.

http://www.autism-diet.com/ This is a Medical Doctor at the University of

Florida. He explains the diet in simple terms.

any more questions regarding Tristan's treatment or the diet he is on, please

feel free to ask.

Sorry, I am just getting to this. If someone hasn't already responded to

this, I wanted to let you know that you can write a written amendment to the

minutes of the ARD meeting and submit it to the special ed. director or

diagnostician (the person who took the minutes to the meeting and compiles

everything).

I have had to do this myself.

Yup even more than frustrating. The communication I get is just givng me a

dog bone because it is generic and tells me nothing about his day at all.

The agenda for the week isn't helpful either as he cannot possible be doing

what is on the agenda and in fact I found out at the team meeting that he is

working on other things so it too is useless. Is Austin in general ed all day

or half day half day or push in. The regular teachers here don't have the

responsibility to teach Micah either but it is about time they started to

learn.

I will hang in there because my little guy is worth it. Your Austin is too!

Loree

OH Loree, I'm sorry this year is off to a rocky start. I empathize with

you, as we are in the same boat. Frustrating isn't it!!! At least you get

" some " communication from the teachers. I have had none. His aide will email

me

daily with what he did for the day. I don't even get an agenda for the

week. Next Tuesday is open house, and i hope to corner each teacher and

explain

what we would like for Austin. I just wish the regular ed teachers would

take some interest in austins' education. i feel they don't think it is their

responsibility to teach him, because they don't know how.

Hang in there, keep up the good fight.

Well I had my first team meeting today and thought MAYBE this would be a better

year. Went into the classroom and the SPED director was at the meeting AGAIN!!!

we had a whole lot of issues last year as you will remember with documents being

changed, my being lied to, assessments done behind my back without my consent or

knowledge. Anyhoo today went into the class and I was informed that I was to let

the teacher know each month BEFORE the team meeting of any concerns or questions

I have. What is this!! I don't think so. I never heard of such a thing. I feel

like I am being harrassed for vigourously advocating for Micah. They really got

caught with their pants down last year as I had documentation to prove what I

was saying. Yes I could have gone to due process and even filed a state

complaint but chose not to because that always comes back to bit the taxpayer in

the butt. We are the only ones punished all the way around. I wonder if there is

any way I can get her out of my team meetings legally. Nothing will ever be

accomplished if she is there each month. As it is the teachers only

communication with me is that Micah did or did not behave for the day (so far he

is doing great!) nothing about what he worked on etc. As short as can be. She

sends an ajeda for the week on what the CLAS is working on but he is not always

working on the same stuff. It is going to be another loooong year

Cud it be anxiety? That does actually make u feel ill and it's pretty common w/ Aspies. I wud raise the issue w/ his peds and various specialists (child psych wud be best if u have one).

Yes, unfortunately, I got those calls quite a few times last school year. Usually on Monday afternoons. Stomach ache, headache, leg hurts, etc. Usually I talked to my son on the phone and told him to rest for a minute in the office, get a drink of water, put his leg up or whatever, and then go back to class. I did go pick him up once when he said he felt like he was going to throw up, but maybe that one was real, who knows? He did have gym on Monday and he didn't like school much, so I can understand how he felt on Mondays.

It is a new school year now (5th grade), and the first Monday, so no phone calls yet, lol. But all we could do last year was reward him for making it through the day or week without going to the office or calling home. We may have to do the same thing this year, but he does like his class better this year. We specifically requested kids to be in his class that he liked from his social skills group, and to not have some of the bully kids that he had a problem with. The school honored our request and he also has a great teacher, so I am hoping this will be a good year.I would have a good talk with the nurse and your son. If a child is hurting emotionally, they don't necessarily get attention for that. But a stomach ache, headache, etc does get them attention. If there is a counselor or someone else he can talk to when he feels bad, this might be a better option.

Let us know what the school has to say.

[Guest guest]

Do you know if your son has sensory issues? Maybe his eyes really are throbbing

- it is not uncommon for people with visual sensory processing issues to have a

terrible time with fluorescent lighting, which is what most schools use. Some

people on the spectrum say they can even hear those lights buzzing. Could

probably cause headaches too. As for the stomachaches - what about stress, from

either something going on with the physical classroom setting or the other kids?

The body often manifests emotional upsets physically.

Sounds like avoidance. Something is happening in school that he becomes anxious and feels the need to avoid which he does by going to the nurse. When is this happening, what are they doing in class? Check with the teacher. Have a meeting....something is causing this behavior....you need to find out ...call for a IEP meeting and/or FBA to figure this out.

We had similar issues........sigh.

I'm laughing with you and yet can remember those times and have a stomach ache myself.It was rough.

His doc said it was psychosymmatic. I totally agree!!!! My son hated the school-situation soooo badly that he truly did feel sick. And,,,,,he's told me since then that he used it, though, too, to get out of school. Makes me sad......to know that you hate a situation soo much that you can literally feel sick.

My son does the same thing and so does the student I am currently working with. One word about Round Math problems ....and the stomach starting. Funny but not. Anxiety plays a big part in this.

I agreee that stomach aches and headaches are often caused by anxiety.

My daughter had chronic stomach aches throughout high school. She would wake up

with pain and missed a lot of school. We took her to psychologists, drs, etc.

It was suggested that she had " abdominal migraines " and the symptoms fitted the

description. It was only in her final year of high school that she had

headaches so severe that we had to see a neurologist. After six months of

testing and different medications, she is now headache free and doing very well

in college.

She won't let me forget that for many years, we thought it was " all in her head "

and tried to get her to " snap out of it. "

So I would be inclined to get a complete workup to rule out migraines.

My son used to have stomach problems up until the was 10. He used to projectile vomit or diarrhea or both. He had it at least every other week and would miss school. The doctors couldn't explain it and kept saying he had a stomach virus. Poor kid used to be so miserable. When he was 10 he was diagnosed with Aspergers and treated with meds for anxiety. Miraculously the stomach problems have all but disappeared. I just wish our kids didn't have to hate school so much that it physically makes them ill.ne

I would love some advice on the tummy aches......my son Hunter is 5 and has been having stomach issues recently.....how do you rule out reflux, lactose intolerance or stress? We went to the doctor today and she prescribed reflux medicine and asked me to stop dairy.......I don't know what to do......it seems like everytime he eats he says he has a stomach ache and he has also been waking up in the middle of the night with tummy aches. Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

we had all these issues and even hospitalization when my son eventually caught rotovirus and could nto shake it for months- the only tings that stopped it for us was taking him off all stomach meds and going completely gluten and casein free and starting on supplements. Now my son's stomach is way improved and so is his sleep habits and behavior is improving over time - DAN doctors can lead you down the right path and do all the tests that can really tell you more about what is going on with your son specifically.

Debbie,

I would wait a little while and see if the reflux meds and taking out dairy products helps. Nothing helped my son until he started being treated for his anxiety/stress. He was put on zoloft and he hasn't gotten that sick since. He still has stomach aches from time to time. I think it depends on what's going on at the time in his life. But for the most part he is fine and no more throwing up all the time. Good luck and I'll say a prayer for your little guy. :)ne

You need to figure out what is going on in the class that he feels the need to escape. Appropriate supports in class could prevent a lot of these problems.

Wonderful advice and also, you should remember that what is cute at this young age becomes not cute when he is older. When he gets older and is refusing to go to school, it will be a lot harder to figure out what is going on and how to help him. It's so much easier to figure it out now when he is young and provide appropriate supports.

While in some regards you could find a chuckle in the situation, you are setting your son up to not to be able to cope with his day. If you haven't already, you need to document every call from a nurse in detail about how long your son was out of the classroom. Create a log book for this purpose. Get a week's sample (sounds like you have enough already imo) and ask for an IEP meeting. This is the only route that you'll get anything done about this. I say at the meeting, have your detailed log book ready and ask for a FBA. Don't let them talk you out of it please. Maybe your son is avoiding something that's detrimental to him--maybe not. How will you know if you don't investigate it?

[Guest guest]

My ds once went through a phase where he was sick at school all the time - probably 2nd grade, I think. He started with the mild symptoms like "head hurts" and "tummy hurts" and then when that stopped working, he just went through other body parts, hoping something got attention and a ride home. Well, one day in second grade he jumped up and announced that a specific body part hurt (to him, one body part is just as interesting as any other....so imagine which one he chose!) and the teacher was speechless and sent him to the office immediately. I got a call immediately. And he learned that certain body parts get instance success. lol. It's funny now to think back! lol. But oh, my!

My son with Aspergar's is becoming a regular fixture at the school nurses office. He goes down for headaches, stomachaches, knee aches, etc. Today he went because his eyes were "throbbing". The nurse checked him and said he was fine and to go back to class. He wouldn't go, so she humored him and gave him eye drops. He still wouldn't go and ultimately told her he was BLIND! When she called, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. My son has a wonderful imagination, but it's getting him in trouble...Anybody else have this kind of trouble?
