I am very exhaused. I am a nurse and worked 12 hours last night, only to come home and have to go pick up my autistic child from school because of his behavior. He kicked a teacher and is now suspended through the Thanksgiving holiday. He is verbal and very intelligent so he knows what he is doing. I don t know how much is autism and how much is him being rude. I am just so sick of this and would like if someone could tell me what would be the best thing to do with a child like this. I am making him clean his room, do time out, write a page of I will not be bad at school and trying to make him see that being at school is better than being at home. Any other ideas?
