Okay, I am a advocate who helps parents with issues in schools in
Indiana. For one thing I personally believe that if this were my child.
I would want to have him evaluated for emotional disabilites.
I'm not positive it would be bipolar, and I also think I would want him
evaluated for asperger syndrome too, I realize this might sound odd.
But some times the very bright, that beat to a different drummer,
technically fall on the autism spectrum.

Personally I would look for a very good psychologist in your area of
the state that can look into all areas for you. Not just the emotional
but also the educational too.

Because even a child that is gifted usually has a reason they don't want
to be in the program when they say the kind of things your son has said.
I would wonder if there was something about the work that he couldn't
do or think he understood.

I would definately want to look into it. I would have the conner's
paperwork filled out by his teachers, for add/adhd just to rule this out.
Remember you are also going to do these sheets too. And it would
be the psychologist you have on the outside that would say whether
he is or not. I wouldn't let anyone at the school evaluate the paperwork.

Have it all done by a independent team. THis is just my opinion.
