I'm running on empty today. I've been sobbing in my office since the phone call from my son's school today. I've been receiving daily phone calls for the last 2 weeks from my son's special needs school that he has either left the property, or destroyed property or had an emotional storm, or made a self harm statement. We were trying an experiment to have him attend school for an half day, and then receive at home tutoring support for the other subjects. The school reports that the experiment has been a failure and that if anything his melt downs have increased. We on the other hand are not experiencing any issues at home. He is compliant, and doing work with his tutor and homework with us. The difference with school and home is startling. He has extreme social anxiety and mood disregulation. At school he is bombarded with triggers throughout the day. At home he feels safe. The school he attends is a private school for students with special needs and is paid for through FAPE, but I am really depressed that even they are scratching their heads because none of their interventions or medication or behavioral intervention have seemed to helped with his school avoidance and meltdowns. I am a full-time working Mom who brings in the income and carries the health insurance for the family, so I can't even consider homeschooling. I just so frustrated that the "professionals" can't seem to quite grasp what is going on with my son. We've gone through an alphabet soup of diagnosis, treatments and medicines to no avail. And we are off again to Children's Hospital to rule out neurological causes.The EEG's and CAT scans never show anything abnormal. Here we go again.
