[QUOTE="Sharon1974, post: 94040, member: 2976"] This letter is wonderful. JK has no diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) but it still fits him perfectly! I often dread holiday dinners because JK does not act the way everyone else thinks he should. No one can understand why I let him stand at the table during dinner but make my 4 year old sit. Sometimes I need to take JK upstairs to a bedroom alone to give him some "re-grouping" time when I see he is getting overwhelmed. I wish more people would understand. I know they are all talking about JK while we are upstairs, even though I watch for the signals and catch him before he starts to mis-behave. Recently while having an outdoor dinner at my parents, my father remarked that he would have to go inside to get another chair and then stopped and said "Never mind, JK probably won't be sitting while he eats anyway, how bout we just let him stand today?" I couldn't believe my ears!!!! Was he finally getting it? Much easier to just let the kid stand at the table then fight with him about sitting. He isn't mis-behaving, he is just doing what he needs to do. [/QUOTE]
