What part of “you need to give him his meds at 11am” is so difficult to understand?
Evidently, the school has been medicating David when he gets there and then again at 11.
They were instructed to give him his meds at 11am, because he gets his meds before he leaves for school in the morning.
No wonder David has been so good for them, he is over medicated.

That is what David said today, after he got caught stealing an iPad and a Nintendo DSi from other family members.
David isn’t allowed technology because he will threaten people on facebook, as well as hack into family member accounts. Plus he has been known to log into Amazon and iTunes and spend money.
He threw an hour long tantrum because he got caught with the iPad. He had it hidden in his dresser and tried to blame it on his sister.
Then he got caught stealing and hacking the DSi. resulting in another half hour long tantrum.
When he does this, everyone scatters. Kids hide in their rooms, guests disappear to theirs, mom keeps the guests company, and I am alone to deal with David.
I wonder if the other kids ever feel like saying: “I don’t feel wanted here.”
and now, an hour later, he is acting as though nothing happened.
So what do we do? We have locked everything up that we can.
We have locked sections of the house off from him. Last night he stole the keys and broke into his sister’s room at 2am. Claimed the door was unlocked. I sleep with my keys under my pillow, and got up to go to the bathroom. That is when he struck. I sleep in the same room as David, and am up all night long to make sure he stays out of trouble.
I picked David up from school today. Was told that the “My Dad Says” comments need to end. The school has rules that he has to follow regardless of what Dad says.
Wait a minute… What?
Evidently when David doesn’t want to do something or is trying to get his way, he starts with “My Dad Says…”
Yeah, like I have control over what David says.
Also, he is supposed to stop bringing people’s phone numbers and names into school. Something about confidentiality.
I understand confidentiality, but I also understand that David has a memory for names and phone numbers that rivals a phone book.
I have no control over his memory.
Yeah. and David likes to write all over his daily report card.
David spends an hour twice a day in a van being transported. One of the ways he deals with that is to write. If you don’t want him to write on his daily report card, maybe you could take my suggestion and put anything you don’t want him to write on in a sealed envelope. He has a notebook that he can write in, give him extra paper or something.
This isn’t rocket science people. You work with kids that have emotional and mental issues/blessings/disabilities. David has a host of blessings that are documented, that you are aware of. Let’s work together to deal with them. I offered you suggestions. I can’t force you to use them, I can say that I wish that you would.
No names have been used, except David’s. Confidentiality is still upheld. Please people. Think.
