honestly, your current mindset isn't conducive to any productive strategies......"titty baby". brah.

I'll throw you a line though. The schools special ed department should have resources in the area to help aid you in trying to establish a decent strategy.

You might also look for Occupational Therapy sources in your area that may prove very valuable. That said, they are expensive.

First step in getting out of a hole: STOP DIGGING!

Your "old school hard arse/hard knocks" mentality must be set aside.......stop digging.

ETA: it breaks my heart almost hearing how you address this poor kid. come on, man. fricking stop and try to find a better way. you continue with your path and you will almost assuredly steer him to prison, institutional commitment, or suicide (most likely).

THIS IS A START

The child sounds like he may suffer beyond spectrum disorders including ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder)

Hey man - yeah, I have a special needs kid and we went 12 rounds with the school board over a multitude of issues.
In short, it's state law that the school provide an Individualized Education Plan for each child with special needs and if virtual learning is not the best solution for your child, do what others have posted here and raise hell.
Call the governing body in the state govt system and demand they allow you to transfer your child to a school that is doing in school instruction. They basically have no choice but you will have to threaten them to get them to move.
A letter from a lawyer wouldn't hurt, I did that a few times. Send it directly to the Superintendent for that school district.

Is there a disorder for everything?

My son has definite processing challenges, but also unexplainable skills. I was convinced not to label his ‘disorder’. He’ll build the tools to overcome them, and flourish in areas he has advantages over his peers.

You'd think.....but the world of neurological disorders has come a very long way vs when we grew up. That said, its still very murky.

But, know this, each kid is like a finger print, esp spectrum kids. I actually count us lucky after seeing the non-verbal/severe cases at our OT sessions. Holy shite are some of those parents saints.
