[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 319889, member: 1550"] Hi. I have a son who started out with the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified diagnosis and in my opinion probably all the other stuff are just symptoms of the disorder. What type of professional diagnosed him with all those things? I think too many labels are pretty useless. Is he on medication? Is he in any autism interventions? My son is doing so well that he has been upgraded to Aspergers, if that can happen...all I know is his last neuropsychologist evaluation said he was too high functioning for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. He's doing terrific, but we basically concentrated on the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Kids on the autism spectrum are usually non-compliant when they have to transition from one activity to another or because they don't understand social rules or norms (some don't "get" that a parent is not a peer). They really need text book teaching about social rules or they may never learn them. They also get frustrated easy so often need extra help or somebody at school sitting beside them or at least available to them. Can he communicate at all? Frustration is another big trigger as is overstimulation. Is he sensitive to light, sound, certain textures, foods, etc. How is his school situation? Do the teachers understand him or do they think he's "bad?" in my opinion, even if he seems to show no remorse, it is unlikely he has Conduct Disorder. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified kids do not express themselves well and often just don't "get" life. Also, that tends to be a disorder for a much older child. The more you share, the more we can give you helpful suggestions. Welcome to the board! But sorry you had to come. [/QUOTE]
