Sorry Guest, meself, I thought you were referring to me starting the thread in the first place.
I still don't think this child was autistic or anything like it. I do realize that there are various types and it's not necessarily possible to spot it from an outsiders point of view, but this child wasn't really even being particularly naughty. He just needed a bit more control than he was getting.
I really feel for you guys. I have seen children with varying degrees of ADHS in the school where I am a Governor and it must be devastating to be in that situation.
