[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 447987, member: 1991"] That strange blend of easy child and difficult child is what you get in Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and anything related. They WANT to be good, they WANT to please you but when it gets too difficult they just (for a time) give up and fall apart. Also, they will dish back to others the same aggression shown to them. And there is a lag effect - difficult child 3 was transferred to a school where bullying was strictly prohibited but he was still very reactive to anything that could be considered the beginnings of bullying. Then when we transferred him to correspondence, difficult child 3 was still reactive for the next two years. I also have seen this in other classmates in the correspondence school - when the kids meet (about twice a term) you can see how some of them respond aggressively and inappropriately, often because they're still reactive after years of bullying and having to fight their way through (as they see it). One of difficult child 3's good friends in school (now) was in a special behaviour school because he was beating up other kids. Initially he was verbally aggressive with difficult child 3, but his mother explained to him about autism and that difficult child 3 was no threat, and the next time they met, he saw difficult child 3 in a different light - difficult child 3 clearly having his own problems. The guy now looks out for difficult child 3, takes care of him like a big brother. Marg [/QUOTE]
