[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 189960, member: 1550"] Ok, need to correct ya, Susie. Kids with autism can learn, often well. It's how you teach them. Conventionally it is hard for them to learn :) I do agree about the cat. My son never "tortured" the dogs or they'd have been gone. He just yelled at them so they'd lower their tale and run from him (they still do), and now he pretty much leaves them alone and they leave him alone. But if it's choking, throwing, kicking etc...the animal deserves to be safe while the child is being put into Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions. But, please, folks, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids can not only learn--once they do, they tend to be rule followers who are NOT rebellious kids. When they are frustrated and out-of-sync (before interventions help THEM and help YOU understand them) they react sometimes violently, out of the sheer frustration of their lack of ability to communicate and their sheer fury at nobody "getting" them and they not "getting" anyone else. But, once they are being taught about NT life, most get much better, even docile, UNLESS they have co-morbids also going on. And you really can't know that until they are in Autism treatment (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified needs autism type supports). It is on the Spectrum. But my son, and he is hardly the only kid I know with high functioning autism, was totally out of control until his supports were put into place and he started to understand us as we started understanding him. And he is exceptionally well behaved. Maybe one day, this child can even have a cat, but this isn't the time. Phew! Sorry for the vent, but wanted to clarify about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and all Autistic Spectrum Disorders (including Aspergers). [/QUOTE]
