Briаn, аged nine, hаs academic difficulty in schооl. He is a shоrt and slightly overweight child who has academic difficulty in school. Brian does well in his special education self-contained classroom. Although generally a gentle child he becomes aggressive and strikes out when he is teased or frustrated by tasks that he cannot accomplish. Brian has delayed mental and social development. He lags behind his peers in all academic skills, reading at a first-grade level and having difficulty with arithmetic calculations. Although he has friends in his neighborhood and in at school and is friendly and sweet, some of his friends have taken advantage of him. In second grade, an older boy coerced Brian into giving him sweets and his lunch money until another child informed the teacher. The boy is eager to make friends and is unaware that some “friends” will take advantage of him. He is self-sufficient, he keeps clean if his mother just checks in occasionally. She still checks his teeth brushing, particularly since his tongue is a little bigger than normal. It was a struggle to get him there, but he has learned most of the important self-care things. He has learned to do chores and takes pride in his accomplishments. Brian needs assistance in many areas but tries hard to learn skills and be independent. You diagnose what?

One morning out of the blue, he threw a chair at the window. After I calmed him down, he said there was a bird in the window outside, staring at him and it got on his nerves.
