[QUOTE="horserider, post: 317919, member: 8054"] Marg, You stated: These kids have an inborn equality. They do not recognise different status according to age, seniority, suprtiority or anything. To a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid, everybody is completely equal. This really hit home for me. difficult child's therpaist stated recently "he just does not respect authority". When discussing house rules that will be in place when our difficult child transitions home (currently in a theraputic program at jjc) our difficult child stated he did not even understand why we can't just let him "do his thing" so to speak, he will work on his behaviors. My husband explained we are the parents, you follow the parents rules. His therpist also mentioned our son's unit mates have issues with personal space with him. When talking to him, he avoids direct eye contact, especially when it involves emotional issues for him. I am hoping he is receptive to a neuro psyc exam when he is released. We had one done years ago, but it was just an MRI, the dr reviewed it and said "normal". It was not in dept at all. No evaulation of his traits, etc. I will call our insurance co. and see if I can have a comprehensive neuro done in the future. Thank you all for the info you shared, very helpful [/QUOTE]
