[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 276174, member: 1550"] Michelle, hi. I see your son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Well, he's telling you the truth that he doesn't care if he smells...lol. He may NOT want to stop because kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are very quirky and tend not to care about social norms. I have a fifteen year old with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. While he doesn't poop in his pants, he has been known to pee in a soda bottle so that he doesn't miss part of his videogames or shows.
