Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 My daughter Kati has done the same thing...she constantly wants to be put in a boarding school. She says it will help her, but I've learned with Kati that everything looks better to her, until she then gets it and then it's the same kind of problems. I finally consented to her that if she wanted to be a foreign exchange student, then I would consider this, but going to a school abroad or like the English do is her obsession. She loves everything from England and wants to live that kind of life. Right now she is determined to go to Oxford for college, but I don't know...maybe it would help your son. My mom used to live in ville , FL and they have a school there primarily for Asperger kids, but we don't have anything like there around where we live. Good luck with your decision.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I find that I have to keep on top of what my son is reading. He'll come up with stuff and apply it to his life. Ever read the " The Lost Boy " ? A biography about growing up in the foster care system. Anyhow my son after being admonished one day told me he was a 'bad boy' and some other thing that should happen to him because he was in trouble. It was a strange request indeed. I've gotten pretty good at hearing someone else's voice in his sentences by then and knew to check what he was reading or watching. Sure enough, it was quotes from this book he applied to his life.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 There are many things that can help him in his quest to refine his focus and behavior. I applaud him for making such a mature decision. I did the same when I was about 14, asking for Karate lessons. My mother was afraid of her own shadow. She saw terror in every dust bunny. She's rubbing off on dad, but that's another story. I took Karate, and other martial arts in between rotations in the military. If I had taken Karate when I wanted to, I am convinced that I would not have had but a fraction of the problems that I did have. IMHO, Military school is not a good idea. See if there is a Boy Scouts Troop in the area. How about a junior ROTC, or Police Auxilliary to give him a taste of what rigorous discipline is. Then let him make up his mind.
