[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 527687, member: 1550"] Hon, is your daughter getting early interventions? My son was dxd. with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. I hear that this is changing and that soon the DSM will only have Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and this should make interventions easier to come by. Due to all his early interventions he can more or less behave like a "typical" person (he is eighteen). But he was not so different from your daughter. His early interventions included speech, Occupational Therapist (OT), PT and social skills and continued on into school. I can not tell you how much it has helped him. Plus he also seems to have looked around and figured out what is and is not appropriate and can mimic it to a large degree THERE IS HOPE! I'd call the school district to see if she qualifies for early education. She can qualify even with a high IQ. My son had meltdowns and violent tantrums at two. He is a very calm eighteen year old now. He isn't violent or nasty at all. In fact, I worry that he is too nice; too naive, but it's better than the former! Do not take her words personally. She is frustrated and doesn't know how to express it, but she does love you. Please get help. [/QUOTE]
