I Have a Child With Autism

My eldest son is 11 years old and he started 6th grade this year. His transition to middle school is NOT going well at all.
grrrrrrrrr.

At the end of last year, me and his teacher put in work to make the transition smooth. It did NOT happen.

His ipad that he uses for communication was NOT there. For whatever reason hes running off a lot and over all they just can't handle him.

He tests people and runs off if he doesn't respect you. I arrive and then he listens to me.

Its the most frustrating thing in the world. I have an appointment next week to meet with some people. I just told my husband today whats going on.

He just said sooner or later, they'll give up and send him to a school with more security, for bad kids. Or also, for special needs kidz with more aggresssive issues.

I feel like they are especially incompetent that they can't even admit that they just might not be the best fit for my son. They just say that they can't bend over backwards for one child. Whatever.

Update

So far so good, I've had to pick up my son 3-4 times from school. Oh boy.

His aggression has been increasing. At the meeting with his teachers we agreed to give it one quarter and then look at other options. He has regressed sooooooo much and so much more aggressive than I've EVER seen him.

Well, yesterday he choked his teacher and is now suspended for 3 days. GRRRRRR.

So I told the teachers to go on ahead and look into other schools that can accomodate him better. And they agreed because his aggression is getting worse and its constantly getting worse.

So thats whats going to happen for now.
