[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 88710, member: 1991"] Janna, I'm so glad to see you back on board, I've missed you and been worried about you. I just had a detailed post but the routine maintenance on the board dumped it, so I'm starting again. How does Dylan feel about the changed diagnosis? Have you had a chance to sit with him and explain it? And what about Brandon - is there any chance that a lot of his issues could be Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in some way? There is often traits found in siblings. Not only do we see it in our family, but the groups we mix with - families with a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid - we see it there, too. Something we've learnt to adapt to, is the level playing field in these kids' minds. Everybody is equal - teachers, parents, other kids - and if you boss around a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid, they will boss others in return. You can't assert authority over them very easily, until they have learnt that in reality, people are NOT equal. Seeing a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid really struggling and hurting is heartbreaking. But when a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid 'gets it', the rewards are amazing. So is the progress. Marg [/QUOTE]
