DS1's behaviour has been becoming steadily more and more unmanageable. I personally believe he has Aspergers (many many reasons, too long to list here).
He doesn't see a difference between adults & children, he has academic abilities way outstripping his age in Maths, above average in English, yet takes things incredibly literally, always has done, yet has the social skills of a tyrannical toddler...
Anyhoo, he has been behaving uncontrollably at home for months now, since September. It's come to a head today as I was called in to the school to be told that he is going to be informally internally excluded during break & lunch this week, and if his behaviour continues then he WILL be formally excluded AND will miss out on the Y6 trip in May.
I am at a loss as to how to punish him or incentivise him. He has nothing that he would be particularly bothered to lose, and I don't have enough money to buy the things that WOULD motivate himself to behave appropriately.
The school thing has kicked off because he said something inappropriate to a female member of staff. He claims vehemently that the teacher is either lying or mistaken. And gets VERY rude when spoken to over it.
DS1 is adamant that he has a right to know which member if staff has 'made these allegations against him' (his words...), so that he can find out if they are lying about him or just mistaken.
This is a HUUUGE issue with him.
I'm at a loss, because he says that an adult would have the right to have a lawyer cross examine the person making allegations against him. And that he 'refutes their spurious claim against him'.
Aaarrgghh.
Help me to stop him from getting properly excluded.
School disagree that he might have Aspergers. But readily admit that there is a VAST discrepancy between his academic ability and his lack of social skills.
They are saying that they have made enough allowances for him, and he needs to stop being rude, start respecting the adults around him, and do what he is told without the back chatting.
If I could fix that, don't they think I WOULD have, at home?!
