[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 290643, member: 1550"] I don't agree either about the discipline. Autistic children are different and do not respond to "normal" parenting. Is he getting any Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) interventions? Do you yourself know a lot about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and are you in touch with a professional who understands it and can explain it to you so that you can have better success at home with your son? I have a son who is Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and is now sixteen. At your son's age, he acted like your son. Now, he is truly a great kid, but it took a lot of educating myself (and hub doing it too) and interventions to get him to where he's at. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids actually thrive with structure. Change upsets them and needs to be done very slowly and carefully. ANd that means even changing from him doing a math problem to him having to put that problem away and start another project. That alone can set off a child on the spectrum, which is why they need autism specific help. These Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids tend to be very smart. But they don't "get" social norms or social cues and when you tell him to say "please" and "thank you" he probably has no idea why you want him to say those things. I doubt he understands the concept of "polite." Truly, these kids need to be text book taught about social normals and to learn social skills. Is he in a social skills class? I recommend finding a therapist who SPECIALIZES in kids on the autism spectrum because these kids are a challenge, a puzzle, and a joy! :happy: I doubt he has any sort of ODD. He is probably frustrated, not understanding the world and what you expect him to do or why. Often these kids do much better with 1-1 aides in school, but my son was able to let go of his aide once he hit high school and he's pretty much mainstreamed.
