Does he have an IEP? DON't feel alone, my son is 8, he is very aggresive, school won't pull him for OT, but I Have made them pull him fromthe cafeteria to eat in a quiet room. THis is the ONLY quiet break he gets all day! I would tell them to stick the detention somewhere! Go tot he classroom and see his enviroment. You will be best to see what is setting him off, tell the teacher he needs a chance to 'unwind' so to speak. He may need a quiet moment to reorganize his thoughts, send him with fidget toys for at his desk, there could be something settin ghim off that no one can notice but him. Just imangine the amount of noise all day and how it feels to him. If someone brushes against my son he thinks they are ready to take him out! The sensitivity to touch causes that plus all hte noise amplifies his issues, he doesn't know how to cope. He is not getting a break from teh noise, it is all so overwhelming. My son was coming home with migraines, now he isn't since he at least gets to go to the quiet room for lunch. Take him to a neuro ped. get him diagnosed, go for an OT eval. get an IEP! I hate it when these kids are labeled "behavior!" They CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES! SHeesh! Do not let them push you around, you know what the problem is and they have to help your child be successful in school by giving him what he needs! Do not back down! COntact your school and tell them you want him evaluated if he does not have an IEP. Get that IEP and you can fight like heck and get the support that he is entitled to! DOn't ever feel alone we are all here for you, have so many similar situations, it will work out jsut takes a lot of fighting and getting people to understand. Write anytime !!

Sorry, I am very passionate about this, it jsut makes me so mad that the people that are supposed to be helping kids are the ones that we have to fight so hard against! AHHHHHHHHHHHH
