Thanks lucyjoy,
We were able to talk to the FM for almost 2hrs one evening. I found her number on an IEP report. He has been with her a yr and a half, Some of your questions...
The young man is 8yrs old.
He has been known to karate chop, push and hit siblings both foster and bio.
He has had multiple moves.
The FM is running a theraputic foster home. She works with therapists to help the kids prepare for the prospect of adoption. There are five children in the home and she says although there are altercations at times. No fits or severe aggression. He gets along and is happy. He likes to spend time with her in the garden and doing things around the house.
His medication works for him, and FM says can definitely tell when he doesn't take it.
She reports that he wants to be the center of attention, he aims to please and reacts very well to positive reinforcement. He must earn all tv computer and toy time. He has a very rigid schedule and does well with it.
From our conversation, I gather that he likes to remove the wheels from his cars and can break a remote control car in a day. He has been through enough disruption and we just want to be sure we can provide the support, services, time and love he will need to heal. we don't want to add to his losses. Anyway thanks for the feedback and the ear.....
