i have had the same problem i live in scotland so itmight be different my son has been diagnosed with dyspraxia,ahad and possable austium . he is curenly on exquam xl tohelp maintain is consentration because of his impulse behavour he goes to mainstream education but has a one to one with him he stabbed the teacher with a pencil on her hand for no apparent reason so he got sent home he is now 7 years old and the head teacher of the school is always complaining about him. You have to develop a very thick skin. I have been to countless ieps and all that is ever discussed is the problems with his behavour and how it affect the rest of the class. he tends to over reaccted to the slightest little thing his main problem is anything new the schoolare aware of this but he cant accept it. You just have to keep on at them even threaten them with going to the papers. Also the school say that e is dictating what he doesin school and they say he cant do that but what they dont realise it is his condition that makes him that way. best of luck
