I'm being punished

Not again! I don't know what's going on with the big fella but I feel like I am being punished because of his behaviour. I now have the pleasure of his company until Monday morning when he is allowed back to school.
I no longer know what to do with him. We're bending over backwards to help him but he thinks that everyone is out to get him and that nothing he has done contributes to the trouble he gets himself into! This time he was suspended for sexual harassment & violence. I'm really not very happy about this but he swears he didn't say anything wrong, however he admits to the violence. He also said that his so called 'friends' were teasing him at the bus stop calling him names, saying he was gay and throwing acorns at him.
I explained to him that yes I can understand why he was angry but that he should've gone to tell one of the teachers as soon as he got to school rather than let the other kids get to him and stir him up some more.

I am at such a loss with him. I'm so frustrated, disappointed and hurt that I feel like I am being punished for something and I don't know why. Mark said I'm not its just that I am being tested. Well I don't like this test at all!!!

I'm still having a hard time wondering how he will cope with his academic work at school if he is spending so much of his valuable learning time home on suspension rather than at school learning. Where will this get him if he isn't learning what he needs to learn to survive out there in the real world??

The big fella was tested yesterday by the same lady who tested him the year he was diagnosed with ADHD & Aspergers Syndrome. She was the same lady who said to the Primary School Principal that he did NOT have Aspergers and therefore will not be able to get an integration aide at school. Now if this is the same lady that said he wont get an aide when he was back in Grade 4 what makes the school think she will say that he will get one now that he is in High School. What I don't get is that if the paediatrician said he has Aspergers where does she get off saying that he doesn't? Well this testing was done for the HS and they will receive a copy of the 'results' I guess you could call them and I will receive a copy as well. Not that I ever got a copy of the testing this lady did when he was in Grade 4. To be honest I don't even know what she was testing for but I did see her briefly yesterday when I picked up the big fella and she said that academically he is sound. Well der I already knew that .. its the behavioural side of things I am having problems dealing and coping with.

Gosh I sound so sarcastic at the moment. I know I probably shouldn't but right now I am at that who cares stage. I don't care what they think I just want the best for my son and I don't know if they are providing it for him. There is only so much I can do I am NOT a miracle worker!!!!
