[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 370521, member: 1550"] I can tell you only what I do with my son who also has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (autistic spectrum disorder). Since I know he has more trouble controlling himself because of his disorder, I go into the room and talk to him. Now he doesn't get violent, but he cries and talks to himself (and he's 17!!!!) A lot of what he says is "I'm so stupid. I'm an idiot." rather than about what he doesn't like. It works for me. I don't like to leave him alone because I want him to know that I understand, but that even though I understand he still has to do it. Often, I offer a little perk for afterwards and he calms down when he thinks about that. I can't speak for all Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, but my son can get very worked up and, rather than actually being angry at others, he is more upset at himself. Sometimes he is just overwhelmed when I make a demand of him...it's part of the disorder. Our Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids are not going to react like other kids...I try to teach him how to cope, the best way I know how. This is what works best for us. He is basically a good kid, but he does lose it at times...I think all kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) do. [/QUOTE]
