[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 184267, member: 1550"] Terry, I so feel your pain. Pervasive does not mean it never gets better. That's simply a lie. It means it affects his functioning now, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) usually DOES get better, but not untreated. He is playing with semantics--he doesn't want to label him, BUT--no label, no services. The psychiatrist is clueless. Emotional immaturity is a HUGE HUGE HUGE symptom of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). And most have an IQ of average or above. I'm sorry you have to fight husband. If you can, I'd test him anyway. I can't believe any therapist would chalk this up to "a guy thing." Not that my boys are what ALL boys are like, but none of them ever did anything like steal underwear. EVER. I hope you can find a way to resolve this and that things get better for all of you. I really get angry when men are in denial--unfortunately it isn't uncommon. YOU are actually the one being the good parent. I'm sorry that you are feeling so overwhelmed. Indeed--do whatever you can to take care of yourself. YOU matter too. [/QUOTE]
