[QUOTE="agee, post: 355739"] Your son sounds really similar to my son, except my son doesn't present as particularly bright. Or charming. Or good at learning. Sorry. I'm a little down right now. Anyhoo, the diagnosis. of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (we don't have the not otherwise specified on the end) was kind of a relief to us. He used to be diagnosis. ADHD/ODD, but the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) meant they were recognizing the strangeness of the way he relates to us, our dogs, or the world in general. The bummer of the diagnosis., however, is while kids with plain old ADHD seem to respond to medications, my Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid doesn't have the same response. So we've tried every single ADHD medication known to the medical community and none are very effective. We're on our 2nd mood stabilizer/antipsychotic now, and while it has been keeping him from screaming at us during every interaction, he is still incredibly impulsive, very rude, and a difficult child in general. What are these interventions? I will ask at the next dr's appointment, but after the neuropsychologist exam they basically said he needed a therapist as well as group-therapy for social skills. What else? We are working on an IEP in school and he gets no interventions there as of yet. I don't mean to threadjack - I'm hoping the responses you/I get will help both of us. A [/QUOTE]
