Quoting *Expecting #3*:" I will for sure   thank you!!! Never thought about that, i'm going to google the number. Yeah, that ... [snip!] ... me! You'd think ya know they have degree's in dealing with children they'd know how to handle him...after all, I have been LOL"

Quoting lilsoph:" Incentives don't work... some mornings are harder than others, this morning was a nightmare... when he ... [snip!] ... even get home... kinda glad to see we arent alone in this... not that i wish it upon you ladies but i dont feel as alone lol"

I know what you mean. Sometimes it's just nice to vent to people who know exactly what you're dealing with.

I hope things get better.

Will TV or anything like that distract him long enough for you to get him dressed?

Quoting Manda Papendorf:" My brother will be 11 in December and Has Aspergers and is ADHD. Almost every morning is a fight. Does ... [snip!] ... a weighted blanket. He sleeps so much better now and doesnt wake up as grumpy. He still has his days but it has worked wonders."

melatonin is an OTC natural sleep aid if you needed more options. My stepson who is 12 now used to stay up in his bed til midnight before he fell asleep and was super crabby in the morning. Now that's he older, he is kept way busier during the day and goes right to bed.

Quoting *Expecting #3*:" I'm with ya on this subject--I wish I could say more to help but i'm dealing with the same issue---only ... [snip!] ... on half days in a smaller classroom.... I am not very pleased with the half day thing but... guess I can't do much about it :/"

I have a friend who has autism. His mother told me when he was 5 he had the same problem. But found out later the reason he acted out like that was because other kids in the school have been bullying him.
