Hi there

 

Can you tell us more about your situation?  I could give you a ton of resources here to read but are you ready for that? And do you want more support and guidance for specific situations with your son?  Let us know how we can help you best.

 

What type of school does he go to?  What grade is he in?

 

What sorts of trouble is he getting into?

 

What has been tried before to help him?

 

I know how hard it can be to parent a child with multiple diagnoses.  You need support with this.  You cannot do this by yourself.  What sorts of supports do you have in place right now?

 

Let us know more details and we can provide more specific resources and information for you.  Thank you for reaching out here.

I have those disorders, if not more, and what I found to help is find a hobby for him to do, or put him at a charter school. I found that more kids accepted me there for myself and there-for felt more comfortable. Now I'm fifteen and am doing fine in school. Also, consult with a teacher/deen/ or administrator about your childs disorder and best way to work around it. You are his mother and know him best and how he works, so just teach them your way of coaxing and it should be fine :)
