[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 651163, member: 3419"] Commenting on the Aspie idea, I recently saw this link, which was posted by some members of the CD board. THIS is definitely my son. [URL]http://www.autism.org.uk/about-autism/related-conditions/pda-pathological-demand-avoidance-syndrome.aspx[/URL] It's still on the autism spectrum, but not totally Asperger's. I've often said that I don't care what it's called as long as he gets a 504 and other svcs. (And yes, there is bipolar involved. That's the other side of the family.) In regard to friends, he had very few over the yrs, and then usually burned them by stealing from them or somehow damaging the relationship. Sometimes, he would just leave someone's house and not tell them that he was leaving. Most of his friends are also Aspies. They talk about it. They do not have good eye contact. They do not greet people with "Hello" or "Goodbye" or "Thank you" unless specifically asked to. These friends come and go. Also, difficult child had other issues, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), for example, with bowel movements and urinary issues, (and used to fill Coke cans with urine and line them up in the middle of the night), as well as an iron deficiency. When we went gluten-free, it resolved. Autism is very gut-related. In addition, I've met his bmom and bgrandma. The Grandma is stereotypical female Aspie. Extremely bossy. Loud. Socially clueless. For example, she walked into an event sponsored by the adoption agency we used, and tracked in dog poop. We pointed it out and she continued to walk all over. When we again pointed it out to her, she shrugged her shoulders. There were free items for babies (difficult child's bmom had a baby who is one yr older than difficult child). Moms could take a few items. Bgrandma grabbed 4 bagfuls and dragged them out to her car. People just stared at her in shock. She left and never said thank you to the woman who hosted the event--in her own home. When difficult child was a yr old, he was fascinated with-my vacuum cleaner. Desperately wanted to vacuum, but it was way too big for him. For Christmas, my mom bought him a kid's vacuum (no plug, of course). She joked about child labor laws. I repeated the story, talking about the fascination, the gift, and the joke, to the bgrandma, and she had a fit. "Child labor? CPS? How much vacuuming is he doing? Why are you doing this to him?" Very literal. Any more questions? :) [/QUOTE]
