[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 280125, member: 1991"] I do like what you've arranged with the teacher. We also found that having really good, fast feedback form the class teacher was very effective. I won't be at all surprised to hear of a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis, or similar. The reactions, the now-acceptance that telling the truth is better than always getting caught in a lie (because he's bad at it); the extreme concern of wanting things gonig his way all the time (including loudly expressing his own distaste at others' choices on his behalf, as in a present, or music being played). On the topic of music, we've also noted that certain types of music are preferred, others disliked, often based on whether there are shrill notes being played. There can be all sorts of reasons for an extreme like or dislike of music, in much the same way you can get extreme like or dislike of certian textures. I found that some clothing would be refused to be worn by some of my kids. difficult child 1 had some shirts he refused to wear until I removed the label from inside the collar. It varies - difficult child 3 doesn't seem to worry about textures in clothing these days. He used to have a preference for towelling but otherwise would wear whatever I wanted him to. I know I recommended "The Explosive Child" - as with anything, read it but choose what feels right and leave the rest. Nothing you told me about your son surprised me. In fact, it all sounded very familiar. I really hope we can help. Marg [/QUOTE]
