[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 223368, member: 1550"] Our neuropsychologist includes Aspergers as a spectrum disorder. My son has been diagnosed as both Aspergers and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. I use Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified because he gets more interventions and he did have a speech delay. Actually, he would echo: "What's your name?" "Name." (He knew his name) "Can you get your coat?" "Coat! Coat! Coat" (while getting it) He also had that persistent Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) nagging. And he will not SHUT UP once he gets something into his head that he wants to do. When he was younger it was MUCH WORSE and highly embarassing when we were with friends. He seemed like a spoiled brat who wouldn't let go until he got his way. And back then we didn't have the right diagnosis. I just knew he was "different." I think it's all just part of that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) obsessing. They can't transition thinking so they lock onto a thought and can't get out of it. This would trigger rages! He is better now. But he could badger us about, say, taking him to his favorite place, Chuck E. Cheese, for hours on end and throw a fit if we said no. And nothing would stop him from asking, even if we made him go to his room, he'd still be yelling about Chuck E. Cheese. The only thing that got him off topic, really, was to take him! And god help us if we promised to take him and the car wouldn't start. That wouldn't stop him from crying and repeating, "I want to go to Chuck E. Cheese" until I wanted to bang my head against the wall and knock myself out just so that I wouldn't hear it anymore. [/QUOTE]
