The closest and simplistic (without posting the detailedresults), he has similar behavior as someone with Asperger's. He has always been a little more challenging but it wasn't until he was tested and we found that he has delays in some critical areas. He is in an IEP program at school and between the specialists, my mom and myself, we have been able to provide the support he needs for development and coping skills with some of the challenges he has (I.e not doing well in chaotic environments to where he would hurt himself or someone else- which he no longer uses physical, he has learned a couple of different methods), understanding that he can only retain two to three step direction, the transition in body movement or position affecting his comprehension, transitioning from one activity to another, etc- He has improved substantially with the resources and tools we, as his community and support system here, have all put and worked together on. My ex's response to a situation and what is going on is him not saying it is fair to his family that my youngest is needing- what makes it challenging is we all have tried to involve him and get his feedback as we were going through the process. Both kids have only been there for less than a week and my youngest has demonstrated severe behaviors that he has never demonstrated before. I don't know what the ramifications will be and I do not know if he will refuse to go back to his dad's and I cannot put an unaccompanied minor on an airplane who is uncontrollable. Again many factors involved and I am Only in beginning stages in research and collecting information. I would rather work this out with him directly and not involve the courts and modifications but I don't think that will be possible, which I find extremely unfortunate. |
