[QUOTE="Morningglory, post: 456847, member: 12704"] Hi EdenEC, I also have a child with Aspergers / Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Altho my son is 16. He was xd when he was 7 or 8. my son didn't like school or to transition from one activity to another either. I can't say he was very verbal about his dislike but you could see it in his movements and his coping reactions. Once the diagnosis and after many hrs / weeks/ months of research and talking to prof.s my son needed desperately to have a strict schedule. This wasn't for my benefit, this was for his. His schedule and the way things are done never change. clear down to the way he puts his socks on. If the schedule changes say for vacations or changing schools ( moving from middle to high school) you can visibly see he gets extreme discomfort. your child is not just going through learning how his disorder works for him, but he is also going through puberty( I can assume.) How structured is his schedule? not saying your son is like mine, but he may need to know exactly what to do at what time and where, all the time. this can take several days or weeks of watching his day and helping him structure it. I'm not saying all autistic kids need this, but before continuing on a path of ODD research give the strict schedule thing a try ( if you haven't already). Sorry your feeling frustrated. I hope you find something to relieve you and your son's stress soon. [/QUOTE]
