[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 357460, member: 1991"] Has anyone considered Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in any form? It can explain so much, including sensory issues. I just posted at more length on someone else's post about a similar child - have a read of it. Read around this site. We often recommend a book called "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It's not a cure, but it can make it so much easier to deal with oppositional behaviour. Kids with an underlying disorder such as ADHD, bipolar, conduct disorder or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) are often what Dr Greene calls "intermittent-explosive" and this means they have a high level of frustration, a short fuse and explode into rage because the world simply will not do what they want it to. Read my other post (I'm in a rush right now) and also try to get your hands on a copy of the book. Go to the Early Childhood forum and read the stickies there on Explosive Child. Also to consider Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (and I didn't say this on the other thread) - go to [url]www.childbrain.com[/url] and look for their informal online Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire. You can't officially use it to diagnose but you can print the results and take it to the doctor, to let them know just what you're dealing with. Keep us posted on how you get on. Marg [/QUOTE]
