Tonight it was open house at school, so I got to see D's classroom and where he sits (right in front of Ms. Teacher's desk). He was excited to show me everything, whereas a lot of kids were just kinda standing around with their parents. Then we had to come home and do homework, and he "hates school! it's boring! my whole class hates me!" It takes him like 15 minutes to do one problem (it's always math). He is pretty far behind in math, but I'm doing my best to help and not stress him out.
Last night we went to therapy and he got to talk to the therapist by himself finally. We also saw the psychiatrist earlier in the day. He prescribed Adderall, what he was on before, and another drug that seems a little scary. It's an ANTIPSYCHOTIC, but it's prescribed to kids "all the time" to help with aggressive behavior and tantrums and bipolar disorder. We'll see what happens. He's also starting "group" with the social worker at school, and went to a group for new kids with the other social worker. He will definitely have a lot of help if he wants to make use of it.
