[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 120536, member: 1550"] My Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified son doesn't even like baths. He simply doesn't like the feel of water. At fourteen, I still have to force him to take a shower and he doesn't care if he smells bad. This is a very common Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) trait, but I don't know if your child had a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis or not. I wouldn't rule it out though. 12.5 is old to be fighting over showers and smelling good...unless the kids have very poor social skills. My autistic spectrum kid is my fifth child and the only one who didn't care about showering at his age. It's not really the norm at all. Most "get it" by then. Any form of autistic spectrum looks a lot like extreme ADHD, but the kids "get it" less than ADHD kids (which is hard...lol). You can't rule out Aspergers. The opinion of the professional can be that he doesn't have it, however he can still have it. Same with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. I would see a neuropsychologist. If you already did, a second opinion is always good. "Better to be safe than sorry" (my motto) [/QUOTE]
