[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 14084, member: 1550"] If your son is on the Spectrum, be it Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or Aspergers (it really doesn't matter which one), he won't respond to "typical" behavioral plans, and he needs special supports in school and the community to improve his understanding of people and the world around him. My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified (I'm sure some would say Aspergers--again, since it's all the Spectrum, it doesn't matter)--and he had such good interventions early on that he can really "pass" as pretty much a typical kid. He's not and we see that at home, but he's so much better. The most effective help for a Spectrum kid is to seek these Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) specific interventions. medications do not change Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). They can help curb certain behaviors, but won't stop the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). He's starting later, but any time you get Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions it speaks well for the prognosis of the child. Good luck (I'd contact a good neuropsychologist who will do intensive testing--often pschiatrists don't "get" Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) as it's not a psychiatric problem). [/QUOTE]
