[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 256435, member: 1550"] Autism with CONDUCT DISORDER? I'd seriously see somebody else. Often Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids act out because of frustration, but I've never heard of one also getting diagnosed with CD, which is pretty much a diagnosis. for over 18 years old too. Is your child getting any Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions? Most Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids present as being me-centric. It's part of the disorder, it is NOT a personality disorder in spectrum kids. Does this professional who diagnosed him even understand the spectrum? in my opinion it doesn't sound as if he does. Has this child seen a neuropsychologist? Who diagnosed him? It's up to you what you do, but I'd be running for the hills finding a neuropsychologist. WHoever diagnosed him in my opinion has no idea about autism. I can't see how a group home can help an autistic child either. He needs Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions because his brain is wired differently and he's not going to "get" the stuff they do at a group home. If he is naive, like most spectrum kids, he is also a sitting duck for more abusive kids to hurt him. I know my son would be victimized in a group home (he has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified). With interventions, my son has turned out to be a very good kid. I"d reconsider this professional's opinion AND his ideas on treatment. Welcome to the board, whatever you decide. How old is he?! [/QUOTE]
