The pediatrician sees him for short periods of time where as the school sees him for hours and sees his history as time progresses. Annecdotally the school would have a much better handle on the situation than the DR. The problem is that a school (at least here, unless it's by the school/district psychologist) can not diagnose. While it may or may not be Asperger's I would suggest to the Dr. that it is time to find out what it is. Here in the US a pediatrician is not the best source for diagnosing anything other than the typical childhood illnesses. I contend you need a specialist, if nothing else to rule out autism and get the school to look again at what his issues may be. If he is found to be depressed, have OCD or the like, here in the US his school labeling would most likely be Emotionally Handicapped. Do they have a similar class structure at your son's school? Is he in the mainstream? Does he receive special services?

BTW I had a group of my students suspended for bullying the last several days of school. When they came back I put them on room restriction as well. Assholes.
