Clearly the traditional school isn't working out. Why not put him in an environment where he is more likely to be properly diagnosed and cared for. As it is now, he's in a system where he is failing, and his best hope is a community of concerned armchair child psychologists (no offense to any actual child psychologists in this thread).

There is no such place. The best environment is home, with therapy, and family support. You obviously have no idea what actually happens in schools like those you mention. Many of those "places" are riddled with abuse and even accidental murders! I would never send my child away for someone else to "deal with." What a total cop-out as a parent. There are professionals he can see without being sent away. The fact that people even consider doing that makes me wonder why they ever had children at all. Those “special schools” you speak of have been statistically proven ineffective over and over for 30 + years now. The only reason they stay open or re-open is because that are privately run and operated and there are no governmental regulations for them. They are money pits, torture chambers, and mind rape mills. Do some research…
