[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 355750, member: 1550"] I think he still sounds on the spectrum, only with Aspergers. ODD is pretty much just "defiant child" with no real meaning and we all have kids who meet the criteria. Unfortunately, ODD doesn't stand alone. Many of us find it unhelpful and it certainly would be a disaster to treat ODD if he really is on the spectrum. Honestly, he probably is. The lack of eye contact and social cluelessness are spectrum problems. These kids also tend to be very bright, if not brilliant, but often can't perform in the world when they grow up because of their social deficits. Is he in any special services for them? He will need them and it's never too early to start! Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is not a diagnosis at all. I'm guessing that the neuropsychologist or Psychiatrist meant Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. [/QUOTE]
