[QUOTE="keista, post: 456407, member: 11965"] Welcome! Sounds like he's perseverating on opposites. Honestly, ALL my kids did this to some degree. I think it's a phase in the development of language. In your son's case, it seems like he knows what he means to say, but it comes out opposite, so he continues to argue with you because he's thinking the same as you, but you are not hearing it as such. It's also possible that he was annoyed with ST and was using this as a way to express that annoyance. My son's ST was beyond frustrated because he knew the words, she knew he knew them, and since they both knew he knew them, he didn't feel like he needed to say them. He'd always give this look that explained it all. They'd complain to me that he wasn't being cooperative. I'd laugh at them because they were the ones insisting that there was something wrong with his and his language - I thought he was PERFECT. Anyway, Since DD2 is my youngest, she's my most recent memory. Her favorite food was mac&cheese. One day I told her that's what we were having for dinner, and she said she didn't want it. ??????? Really? I asked and confirmed several times that she "Does NOT want mac&cheese" When I served her up something else, she went into a screaming fit. She was 4, and Oh, that's right, DD1 and son had done this as well. I think it's a phase. I'd start ignoring the words coming out when I knew for sure what my child meant. Not so easy when you really don't know and want their input. GOOD! Simply because ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ODD can all be SYMPTOMS of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My son has displayed all of those traits ant one point or another, but they fall within the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis for him - nothing off the charts. If any one of those gets really intense and intrusive, then it does merit a secondary diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
