[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 146439, member: 1991"] A couple of thoughts for you - if he copies others as much as you indicate, this can be a good thing,if only you can surround him with good examples. it also indicates that he wants to blend in, that at some level he is aware that he is uncertain of how people tick and this is the fastest way to at least be able to fudge things. If so, it also indicates that he is very bright indeed (not surprising, in Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) especially if his language skills are already as good as they are). Long-term, this is good news. Doesn't help much now, though. Also, re mother in law - if she is such a shallow person, then perhaps it is a good thing for Sammy that she is not in his world much. Her presence would be unsettling for him and could be also very frustrating - for him, as well as you. And if he gets frustrated, he will rage all the more. So, thanks to her attitude, she is barely on the fringes of his existence and for him this is probably a very good thing. She is going to really miss out on the positive aspects as he begins to grow and improve. Be gentle with yourself, good luck with the weight loss. A few of us are posting on Healthful Living, supporting each other in weight loss etc., especially where we have other health problems complicating the picture. Marg [/QUOTE]
