[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 381310, member: 1991"] In autism (and related conditions) you can also get, in about 30% of cases, some gastric sensitivity or other problem. Also, hygiene is often a problem because the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in them as well as the dislike of change means they actually prefer the feel and the smell of their own old, dirty clothes. I would raid difficult child 1's room while he was at school and wash his pyjamas and bedding, and he would get angry with me because his bed now felt wrong and didn't smell like it should. When we mention autism, often we also include Asperger's Syndrome and related issues. It usually is lumped together as Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or Pervasive Developmental Disorder. You can run your own unofficial Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) test on her by looking for the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire on [url]www.childbrain.com[/url]. Whatever result you get, print it out and keep a copy, show it to anyone you feel needs to see it (such as the doctor). A lot of what you describe could still fit with Asperger's. It could also fit with other conditions which is why we don't diagnose here. But so many of us have seen so many conditions, we can get big clues as to possibilities, based on our own "nose" for it. You've been given some good advice and some great reading references. It should keep you busy! As if you needed to be kept busy! Anyway, welcome. Marg [/QUOTE]
